(a) The full committee, or a quorum thereof, will convene at the
time and place appointed for an initial prehearing meeting as provided

after:
(1) The subcommittee has filed its recommended report and
(2) A transcript of the subcommittee hearing is made available to
the parties, for the parties to file exceptions to the recommended
report, and the committee shall meet promptly thereafter on call of its
chairperson or the Administrator to consider exceptions and prepare its
final report.
(b) A committee may adjourn its meeting or hearing, or both, from
time to time, and meet again, at hearing or otherwise, pursuant to the
terms of adjournment, or on call of its chairperson or the
Administrator.
