For a particular matter, one or two commissioners who are not disqualified may constitute a quorum when disqualifications prevent others from participating.
- **Stated purpose:** Promote flexibility and finality in agency rulemaking.
- **Procurement status:** This is a regulatory action, not a procurement opportunity. No OEMs, vendors, products, services, quantities, or part numbers are identified.
