Each industry committee shall keep a journal recording the time and
place of all its meetings, the members present, the votes, and other
formal
proceedings, including the appointment of subcommittees. Subcommittees
shall keep a similar journal. No report of committee or subcommittee
discussions need be included. All hearings shall be recorded. The record
of any hearing before any subcommittee shall be transcribed. All
hearings before a committee shall also be transcribed in whole or in
part whenever the Administrator so directs upon his or her own motion or
upon the motion of any party or any person compelled to submit data or
evidence and upon the payment of costs prescribed by the Administrator.
Promptly after completion of the committee's final report, the committee
chairperson shall certify the report and transmit it to the
Administrator. As soon as practicable thereafter, the committee staff
shall transmit to the Administrator:
(a) All committee and subcommittee journals;
(b) All applications for leave to participate as parties together
with the record of action thereon; and,
(c) The record, including any transcript of the testimony and
exhibits, together with all papers and requests filed in the
proceedings.
These documents shall be available for inspections and copying by
interested persons at the Office of the Administrator during usual
business hours.
