                                                  ,OT 19 1973
   The Honorable William J. Keating
   House of Representatives

K  Dear Mr. Keating:

        Pursuant to your June 27, 1973, letter and subsequent
   conversations with your office, we reviewed the Postal Service's
   decision to consolidate into one facility the operations, of
   three exisJig:q.pQ,&Ltqk op1s and certain aspects of the site
   selection process for the proposed facility in the Hyde Park
   area of Cincinnati. This letter summarizes and updates the in-
   formation we gave your office in an August 1, 1973, briefing.

        At the briefing, we noted that:

        --The Postal Service is not required to hold public hear-
          ings on the location of proposed facilities.

        --The Postal Service is not required to comply with city
          zoning ordinances in locating a Government-owned facil-
          ity.

        --The Postal Service pointed out that, although it is not
          required by law to perform an environmental assessment
          and prepare an environmental impact statement' as pro-
          vided for in the National Environmental Policy Act of
          1969 (Public Law 91-190), it does so voluntarily in
          accordance with Postal Service regulations in the
          July 6, 1972, Federal Register.



   'A detailed statement, prepared in accordance with section
   102 of the act, which identifies and analyzes the effect of
   proposed legislation or a major Federal action on the quality
   of the human environment. An impact statement is generally
   prepared if an agency determines in a preliminary environ-
   mental assessment that an action is expected to have a signif-
   icant impact on the environment.
