When the Commission makes a decision under this Part, it does not have to follow strict rules. You can think of the Commission like a group of people who get to decide things, and they can make their decision in a way that makes sense to them. The Commission can look at any information it wants to help make its decision, and it must think about what people have said about the issue, whether in writing or at a public meeting.
