NOTICE OF INTERVENTION

BY

ACCUDOCS L.L.C.

AccuDocs L.L.C. hereby serves notice of its intervention in this proceeding. In accordance with section 20 of the Commission's rules of practice, the Company states that:

1. The Company is one of the Nations largest mailers of letter-sized mail, including First-Class Mail that is presorted and prebarcoded. The Company prepares and prints mailings for others, places those mailings in envelopes, and deposits the mailings with the Postal Service for transmission to the recipients. The Postal Services proposed Mailing Online Service would compete directly with AccuDocs and other print-and-mail business and, if the Services proposed rates are not fully compensatory, could affect First Images postage costs, its costs of mail preparation, and its postage discounts.

2. AccuDoc’s predecessor enterprise, First Image Management Company, participated in this Commissions Docket No. R97-1 as a limited participator

3. The Company is studying the Postal Services Request to determine whether that Request is eligible to be processed under the Commissions Rules for market tests and experimental service. The Company is not yet in a position to decide whether it should request an evidentiary hearing.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ David Maloney

for AccuDocs L.L.C.
