Sec. 212.03  Proceedings covered.

    (a) The Act applies to adversary adjudications conducted by the 
Commission. These are adjudications under 5 U.S.C. 554 in which the 
position of the Commission is presented by an attorney or other 
representative who enters an appearance and participates in the 
proceeding. The Commission proceedings covered are those conducted under 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337. No award shall be 
made, however, for fees and expenses related to those portions of the 
proceedings conducted for the consideration of relief, the public 
interest, and bonding pursuant to subsections 337 (d), (e), and (f) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930 and 19 CFR 210.14.
    (b) An award may be made against the Commission only in connection 
with a proceeding brought by the Commission upon its own complaint.
    (c) If a proceeding includes both matters covered by the Act and 
matters specifically excluded from coverage, any award made will include 
only fees and expenses related to covered issues.
