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: Subject to approval of the ACUS Council, four proposed
recommendations will be placed on the agenda and considered by the
Assembly. In addition, there will be updates on past, current, and
pending initiatives, as well as other business. Summaries of the
recommendations appear below:
Temporary Rules. This proposed recommendation identifies best
practices for temporary rules. Temporary rules cease to be effective
after a specific calendar date or upon the occurrence of a future event
unless an agency takes action to extend the rule, make it permanent, or
repeal it. The proposed recommendation provides guidance to agencies on
determining whether to issue a temporary rule, drafting and publishing
temporary rules, conducting timely assessments of temporary rules and
taking appropriate action, and developing internal procedures for
temporary rules. It also recommends that Congress consider how specific
agencies might use temporary rules to respond efficiently and
effectively to emergencies.
Obtaining Government Records for Use in Agency Proceedings. This
proposed recommendation provides agencies with best practices for
making federal government records available for use in agency
proceedings. It provides guidance on procedures for ensuring that
government officials and private parties have access to the records
they need to participate effectively in agency proceedings and decide
matters fairly, accurately, and efficiently.
Federal Agency Collaboration with State, Local, Tribal, and
Territorial Governments. This proposed recommendation provides agencies
with a framework that federal agencies should use to identify and
collaborate more effectively with relevant state, local, tribal, and
territorial governments (SLTTGs). It provides guidance on practices
agencies can adopt when initiating, managing, and evaluating
collaborations with SLTTGs that promote a culture of improved
coordination and strengthen working relationships between governments.
Organization, Management, and Operation of Agency Adjudication
Offices. This proposed recommendation provides agencies with best
practices for organizing, managing, and operating agency adjudication
offices. It encourages agencies to collect, analyze, and use data to
identify and adopt the organizational, management, and operational
practices that are best suited to each agency's unique circumstances
and most effective in promoting fairness, accuracy, consistency,
efficiency, and timeliness in the adjudications they conduct.
