Upon his written request to the chairman and at least one other member of the Commission, a witness shall be furnished at a reasonable charge with a transcript of the record insofar as it pertains to him or his testimony, if such record was taken at a public hearing, or, if taken at a private hearing, such record is subsequently used or referred to in a public hearing or becomes relevant in any proceeding to which the witness is a party. The record need not be transcribed or printed, except as herein provided, unless the Commission shall so determine.
