VII. Category of Proceeding
Rule 6(c)(2) of our Rules of Practice and Procedure18 provides that an OIR "shall preliminarily determine the category" of the proceeding. This rulemaking is preliminarily determined to be quasi-legislative, as that term is defined in Rule 5(d). Our intention is to solicit comments on our proposed rule changes.
We do not anticipate holding evidentiary hearings since we do not foresee the need to receive testimony regarding adjudicative facts.19
18 Unless otherwise indicated, all subsequent citations to Rules refer to the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. 19 Rule 8(f)(1) defines "adjudicative facts" as facts which answer questions such as who did what, where, when, how, why or with what motive or intent.
