SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Conference of the United
States makes recommendations to federal agencies, the President,
Congress, and the Judicial Conference of the United States regarding
the improvement of administrative procedures (5 U.S.C. 594). The
membership of the Conference, when meeting in plenary session,
constitutes the Assembly of the Conference (5 U.S.C. 595).
Agenda: Three proposed recommendations will be considered by the
Assembly. In addition, there will be updates on past, current, and
pending Conference initiatives, as well as other business. Summaries of
the recommendations appear below:
Precedential Decision Making in Agency Adjudication. This proposed
recommendation identifies best practices on the use of precedential
decisions in agency adjudication. It addresses whether agencies should
issue precedential decisions and, if so, according to what criteria;
what procedures agencies should follow to designate decisions as
precedential and overrule previously designated decisions; and how
agencies should communicate precedential decisions internally and
publicly. It also recommends that agencies codify their procedures for
precedential decision making in their rules of practice.
Public Availability of Settlement Agreements in Agency Enforcement
Proceedings. This proposed recommendation identifies best practices for
providing public access to settlement agreements reached during
administrative enforcement proceedings. It recommends that agencies
develop policies addressing when to post such agreements on their
websites; provides factors for agencies to consider in determining
which agreements to post on their websites; and identifies best
practices for presenting settlement agreements in a clear, logical, and
accessible manner without disclosing sensitive or otherwise protected
information.
Regulatory Enforcement Manuals. This proposed recommendation
identifies best practices for agencies regarding the use and
availability of enforcement manuals--that is, documents that provide
agency personnel with a single, authoritative resource for enforcement-
related statutes, rules, and policies. It recommends that agencies
present enforcement manuals in a clear, logical, and comprehensive
fashion; periodically review and update them as needed; ensure
enforcement personnel can easily access them; and consider making
manuals, or portions of manuals, publicly available.
