    The Commission may on its own motion or petition of any interested 

party hold such proceedings as it may deem necessary from time to time 

in connection with the investigation of any matter which it has power to 

investigate under the law, or for the purpose of obtaining information 

necessary or helpful in the determination of its policies, the carrying 

out of its duties or the formulation or amendment of its rules and 

regulations. For such purposes it may subpena witnesses and require the 

production of evidence. Procedures to be followed by the Commission 

shall, unless specifically prescribed in this part, be such as in the 

opinion of the Commission will best serve the purposes of such 

proceedings.
