Collapsed Edge Removal

The attached model (zipped step file) has two collapsed edges. These are of zero length and start and terminate at the same vertex object. Is there some way these can be removed from the model with the result still valid? If so, how might I do this and what, if any, are the caveats to doing so? Thanking the experts in advance for giving a helping hand to the novices out here.
