8. Sunday and Holiday Collections Complaint Case:
        Docket No. C2001-1
On October 27, 2000, a complaint was filed with the Postal Rate Commission, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3662, alleging that changes in Sunday and holiday mail service implemented by the Postal Service in previous years had resulted in a nationwide or substantially nationwide change in service for which the Postal Service should have requested an advisory opinion from the Postal Rate Commission under 39 U.S.C. 3661. The Postal Service moved to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that it did not allege a belief that the Postal Service was failing to provide services in conformance with the polices of the Act. The Postal Rate Commission dismissed the portion of the complaint relating to the termination of outgoing mail service on Sundays in 1988, but it declined to dismiss the portion of the complaint relating to changes in holiday mail service. The complainant has yet to complete presentation of his direct case, and the case is still pending.
