 P. O. Box 321

 From the proposed refusal to renew the rental of P. O. Box 14273
 at Orlando, Florida

 P.S. Docket No. 1/53;  
 

 03/22/72
 

 Wenchel, Adam G.  

On March 2, 1972, the Hearing Examiner, to whom the above-captioned appeal was assigned, issued an Initial Decision and Order, which proposed the following order, subject to appeal to the Judicial Officer:

"IT IS ORDERED that the appeal in the above-entitled proceeding be, and the same hereby is, dismissed unless appellant shall, within twenty (20) days from the date of service of the final agency decision, make appropriate arrangements with the Station Superintendent, Azalea Park Branch, Orlando, Florida, to either remove mail regularly or to designate an agent to remove such mail."

Although Appellant was advised of her right to appeal, no appeal by her has been received by the Docket Clerk. Accordingly, under authority of section 169.14 Postal Service Manual (39 C.F.R. 169.1(d)) and pursuant to the applicable Rules of Practice (39 C.F.R. Part 958) the Initial Decision is adopted as the Postal Service Decision, i.e., the final agency decision. This decision, however, does not preclude Appellant from renting a post office box in the future whenever she agrees to comply with the conditions therefor including Postal Service Manual section 169.137 (39 C.F.R. 169.1(c)(7)).
