Sec. 201.54  Settlement.

    The applicant and counsel for the Office or Division of the 
Commission may agree on a proposed settlement of the award before final 
action on the application, either in connection with a settlement of the 
underlying proceeding or after the underlying proceeding has been 
concluded, in accordance with the Commission's standard settlement 
procedure. See 17 CFR 201.240. If a prevailing party and counsel for the 
Office or Division of the Commission agree on a proposed settlement of 
an award before an application has been filed, the application shall be 
filed with the proposed settlement. If a proposed settlement provides 
that each side shall bear its own expenses, and the settlement is 
accepted, no application may be filed.
