ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED STATES

 

Model Procedure and Practice Regulations

AGENCY: Administrative Conference of the United States.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administrative Conference's Model Rules Working Group has 
completed a set of model procedure and practice regulations for agency 
adjudications.

TO OBTAIN COPIES OF THE MODEL REGULATIONS CONTACT: Susan Mack, 
Administrative Conference of the United States, 2120 L Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20037, or (202) 254-7020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary J. Edles or Jeffrey S. Lubbers, 
Administrative Conference of the United States, (202) 254-7020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Working Group of the Office of the 
Chairman of the Administrative Conference has completed a set of model 
procedure and practice regulations, with related commentary, suitable 
for use in those agency proceedings that offer an opportunity for an 
oral, fact-finding hearing before an agency adjudicator, whether 
conducted pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, other statutes, 
or agency regulations or practice. Hearings are currently held before 
presiding officers at scores of federal departments and agencies. Each 
agency has its own set of procedure and practice rules that cover 
essentially the same procedural areas. To the extent that the conduct 
of hearings at these agencies presents similar problems, it appears 
useful to formulate a set of model procedure and practice rules that 
addresses common procedural problems. Such model regulations can be 
used by those agencies that are either required to establish formal 
procedures for new adjudicatory programs or interested in amending 
their existing rules in selected areas. Because each agency has its 
own, unique procedural needs, the model rules are not intended as a set 
of uniform procedures. Rather, they are designed to provide a set of 
recommendations that can be considered by agencies in light of their 
special procedural requirements.
