procedures and standards for 

Commission review of such actions, and 

the reporting requirements included in 

the procedural rules are either directly 

required by Section 17 of the Act or are 

necessary to the type of appellate review 

role Congress intended the Commission 

to undertake when it adopted that 

provision.
