4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Rather the Commission handles application proceedings without oral argument 'if at all possible' with oral hearings limited to 'extraordinary cases.' 49 C.F.R. Secs. 1100.251(c) & .252(f)(1). Under its rules, the Commission may, in its discretion, hear a case under the so-called 'modified procedure,' i.e., without an oral hearing 'if it appears that substantially all important issues of material fact may be resolved by means of written materials and that the efficient disposition of the proceeding can be made without oral hearing.' Id. Sec. 1100.43 (emphasis added).”
