"Minimum staff required" is a little difficult. One can do anything with existing staff if quality and timeliness don't matter. The IAOC has to determine those parameters as part of deciding staffing levels. I suggest "minimum staff required to perform the functions satisfactorily as determined by the IAOC", or something along those lines.
I thought that was implied by "required"...... if we don't like "required", I think we should drop the subsentence, leaving us with:

Less is more....
