SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Additional information about the committee 
meetings, the nature of the projects and related materials, how to 
attend (including information about remote access and obtaining special 
accommodations for persons with disabilities), can be found on the 
``Research Projects'' and ``Meetings & Events'' sections of the 
Conference's Web site (www.acus.gov).
    Agendas: The committees will meet to consider reports by Conference 
consultants on current projects and prepare recommendations for 
consideration by the Assembly.
    Committee on Adjudication: The Committee on Adjudication will meet 
to consider a draft report and recommendations on social security 
disability adjudication. The report, prepared by Professors Harold 
Krent and Scott Morris, presents findings and recommendations based on 
legal and empirical analysis of the Social Security Administration's 
adjudication of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and 
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims.
    Committee on Judicial Review: The Committee on Judicial Review will 
meet to consider a draft report prepared by Leland Beck on the 
composition and compilation of administrative records prepared by 
federal agencies for use in informal agency regulatory proceedings and, 
if agency decisionmaking is challenged, for the purpose of review by 
federal courts. The committee will also consider draft recommendations 
based on this report.
    Committee on Regulation: The Committee on Regulation will meet to 
discuss two projects. First, the committee will consider a revised 
report by Professor Wendy Wagner examining the use of science by 
administrative agencies, as well as a set of proposed recommendations, 
based in part on her work, which aim to enhance the transparency and 
integrity of agencies' scientific factfinding. The committees will also 
consider a draft report and recommendations related to benefit-cost 
analysis at independent regulatory agencies. The draft report, prepared 
by Curtis Copeland, chronicles the work of independent agencies to 
assess the benefits and costs related to their rulemakings and 
highlights certain practices related to economic analysis for 
consideration by these agencies.
    Committee on Rulemaking: The Committee on Rulemaking will meet to 
consider a draft report and recommendations on the policy and legal 
issues implicated by agency use of social media to support rulemaking. 
The Conference's consultant for this project is Professor Michael Herz.
    Public Participation: The Conference welcomes the public to attend 
committee meetings, subject to space limitations, and will make every 
effort to accommodate persons with disabilities. Persons wishing to 
attend in person are asked to RSVP online not later than two business
