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: The Assembly will consider two proposed recommendations as 
described below:
    Adjudication Materials on Agency Web sites. This proposed 
recommendation provides guidance regarding the online dissemination of 
administrative adjudication materials. It offers best practices and 
factors for agencies to consider as they seek to increase the 
accessibility of adjudication materials on their Web sites and maintain 
comprehensive, representative online collections of adjudication 
materials, consistent with the transparency objectives and privacy 
considerations of the Freedom of Information Act and other relevant 
laws and directives.
    Negotiated Rulemaking. This proposed recommendation offers best 
practices to agencies for choosing the most appropriate of several 
methods--among them negotiated rulemaking--to engage the public in 
agency rulemakings. It also offers best practices to agencies that 
choose negotiated rulemaking on how to structure their processes to 
enhance the probability of success.
    Additional information about the proposed recommendations and the 
order of the agenda, as well as other materials related to the meeting, 
can be found at the 67th Plenary Session page on the Conference's Web
