IN THE MATTER OF ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, INC., ET AL.

Docket 89()8. Order, Mat. , 1976 Denial of respondents' motion to postpone decision. ORDER DENYING MOTION TO POSTPO:oE ISSUANCE OF FINAL DECISION AND ORDER Respondents have moved to postpone the decision in the appeal of the above-styled matter. The motion arises out of a Freedom of Information Act request for a copy of the Analytical Program Guide for the Direct Sellng Industry and other related documents. The Commission denied in part respondents' request and respondents have sought judicial review of the Commission s determination in the Federal courts. The reason set forth for respondents' motion to postpone is to afford respondents "an adequate opportunity to examine and comment upon, or take other appropriate steps with respect to hitherto undisclosed matter which may have been considered by the Commission or the Administrative Law Judge in the course of this proceeding.

As the Commission has pointed out in denying respondents' Motion to Reopen the Record and Proceedings, the decision and order in this matter* have been based solely upon the record evidence in Dkt. 8908. Thus there is no "undisclosed matter" utilzed in the Commission determinations in this matter. Accordingly, It is ordered That respondents' Motion to Postpone Decision be, and it hereby is, denied.
