Sec.  140.12  Disposition of business by seriatim Commission consideration.

    (a) Whenever the Chairman of the Commission is of the opinion that 
joint deliberation among the members of the Commission upon any matter 
is unnecessary in light of the nature of the matter, impracticable, or 
would impede the orderly disposition of agency business, but is of the 
view that such matter should be the subject of a vote of the Commission, 
such matter may be disposed of by circulation of any relevant materials 
concerning the matter. The relevant materials shall be circulated to 
each member of the Commission, unless a member is unavailable or has 
determined not to participate in the matter. A written record of the 
vote of each participating Commission member shall be reported to the 
Secretariat who shall retain it in the records of the Commission.
    (b) Whenever any member of the Commission so requests, any matter 
circulated for disposition pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
shall be withdrawn from circulation and scheduled instead for a 
Commission meeting.
