    Agenda: The Assembly will discuss and consider three 
recommendations and one statement, as described below:
     Improving the Timeliness of OIRA Regulatory Review. This 
proposed statement highlights potential mechanisms for improving review 
times for rules under review by the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), including promoting enhanced coordination 
between OIRA and agencies prior to the submission of rules, encouraging 
increased transparency concerning the reasons for delayed reviews, and 
ensuring that OIRA has adequate staffing to complete reviews in a 
timely manner.
     Remand Without Vacatur. This proposed recommendation 
examines the judicial remedy of remand without vacatur on review of 
agency action and equitable factors that may justify its application. 
It also offers guidance for courts that remand agency actions and for 
agencies responding to judicial remands.
     Social Media in Rulemaking. This proposed recommendation 
provides guidance to agencies on whether, how, and when social media 
might be used both lawfully and effectively to support rulemaking 
activities.
     The GPRA Modernization Act of 2010: Examining Constraints 
to, and Providing Tools for, Cross-Agency Collaboration. This proposed 
recommendation examines perceived and real constraints to cross-agency 
collaboration under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) 
Modernization Act and highlights tools available to help agencies 
collaborate. It offers guidance to help increase transparency, improve 
information sharing, and facilitate better agency reporting under the 
Act. The recommendation is also aimed at enhancing the role of agency 
attorneys and other agency staff in facilitating cross-agency 
collaboration.
