Administrative guidance orders discontinuance of numerous small-value acquisition proceedings to reduce backlog and permit focus on significant cases, while amending prior circulars to clarify that the Commissioner's revision jurisdiction is an alternative remedy available only when no appeal has been pursued; where a lower authority's order has been appealed and merged into the appellate decision, revision is rendered otiose under the doctrine of merger.
