Sec. 212.25  Further proceedings.

    (a) Ordinarily, the determination of an award will be made on the 
basis of the written record. However, on request of either the applicant 
or the Commission investigative attorney, or on his or her own 
initiative, the presiding officer may in his or her discretion order 
further proceedings, such as an informal conference, oral argument, 
additional written submissions or an evidentiary hearing. Such further 
proceedings shall be held only when necessary for full and fair 
resolution of the issues arising from the application, and shall be 
conducted as promptly as possible.
    (b) A request that the presiding officer order further proceedings 
under this section shall specifically identify the information sought or 
the disputed issues and shall explain why the additional proceedings are 
necessary to resolve the issues.
