Abstract
The U.S. Parole Commission is amending the voting quorum required for initial parole decisions made under 28 CFR 2.17, which is the procedure for original jurisdiction cases (high profile and extremely serious offenders). The Commission has determined that the present four-vote requirement is no longer appropriate, in view of the fact that only six Commissioners are currently holding office. Accordingly, the quorum required to decide original jurisdiction cases will be three votes. Appeals from these decisions will continue to be presented to the full Commission under 28 CFR 2.27.
