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). ACUS's
membership, 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 ACUS initiatives, as well as other business. Summaries of the
recommendations appear below:
Using Algorithmic Tools in Regulatory Enforcement. This proposed
recommendation provides best practices for using artificial
intelligence, predictive analytics, and other algorithmic tools to
support agencies' regulatory enforcement efforts. It addresses the
potential benefits and risks of using algorithmic tools to detect,
investigate, and prosecute noncompliance with the law and identifies
policies, practices, and organizational structures that agencies can
put in place to ensure they enforce the law fairly, accurately, and
efficiently.
Public Engagement in Agency Rulemaking Under the Good Cause
Exemption: This proposed recommendation provides best practices for
public engagement when agencies find good cause to forgo notice-and-
comment rulemaking procedures under the Administrative Procedure Act.
It encourages agencies to use direct final rulemaking, interim final
rulemaking, and alternative methods of public engagement to ensure
robust public participation even when they rely properly on the good
cause exemption.
Nonlawyer Assistance and Representation. This proposed
recommendation provides best practices for agencies to increase the
availability of nonlawyer representation and assistance to participants
in their adjudicative systems. It provides guidance on the
establishment of rules authorizing qualification or, as appropriate,
accreditation of nonlawyer representatives; ways to make such processes
accessible and transparent; and strategies for coordinating with other
government agencies and nongovernmental organizations to increase the
availability of representation and assistance.
