telephone 202-480-2080; email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#86f5ebe5e1efe4e4e9e8c6e7e5f3f5a8e1e9f0"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="addec0cecac4cfcfc2c3edccced8de83cac2db">[email protected]</span></a>.
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: Four 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:
Artificial Intelligence in Retrospective Review of Agency Rules.
This proposed recommendation identifies best practices for agencies to
consider when designing or using artificial intelligence or other
algorithmic tools to identify rules that are outdated or redundant,
contain typographical errors or inaccurate cross-references, or might
benefit from elaboration or clarification. It also discusses how
agencies can design these tools in a way that promotes transparency,
public participation, and accountability.
Disclosure of Agency Legal Materials. This proposed recommendation
identifies statutory reforms that, if enacted by Congress, would
provide clear standards as to what legal materials agencies must
publish and where they must publish them (whether in the Federal
Register, on their websites, or elsewhere). The amendments would also
account for technological developments and correct certain statutory
ambiguities and drafting errors. The objective of these amendments
would be to ensure that agencies provide ready public access to
important legal materials in the most efficient way possible.
Online Processes in Agency Adjudication. This proposed
recommendation identifies best practices for developing online
processes by which private parties, representatives, and other
participants in agency adjudications can file forms, evidence, and
briefs; view case materials and status information; receive notices and
orders; and perform other common adjudicative tasks.
Virtual Public Engagement in Agency Rulemaking. This proposed
recommendation identifies best practices to promote enhanced
transparency, accessibility, and accountability when agencies use
virtual tools to engage the public in connection with agency rulemaking
activities. It encourages agencies to offer virtual options when it
would be beneficial to do so and offers best practices for structuring
virtual public engagements in a way that meets public expectations and
promotes valuable input for agency decision makers.
