FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shawne McGibbon, General Counsel 
(Designated Federal Officer), Administrative Conference of the United 
States, Suite 706 South, 1120 20th Street NW, Washington, DC 20036; 
telephone 202-480-2080; email [email protected].

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: Four proposed recommendations will be considered by the 
Assembly. In addition, there will be updates on past, current, and 
pending Conference initiatives, as well as other business. Summaries of 
the recommendations appear below:
    Artificial Intelligence in Retrospective Review of Agency Rules. 
This proposed recommendation identifies best practices for agencies to 
consider when designing or using artificial intelligence or other 
algorithmic tools to identify rules that are outdated or redundant, 
contain typographical errors or inaccurate cross-references, or might 
benefit from elaboration or clarification. It also discusses how 
agencies can design these tools in a way that promotes transparency, 
public participation, and accountability.
    Disclosure of Agency Legal Materials. This proposed recommendation 
identifies statutory reforms that, if enacted by Congress, would 
provide clear standards as to what legal materials agencies must 
publish and where they must publish them (whether in the Federal 
Register, on their websites, or elsewhere). The amendments would also 
account for technological developments and correct certain statutory 
ambiguities and drafting errors. The objective of these amendments 
would be to ensure that agencies provide ready public access to 
important legal materials in the most efficient way possible.
    Online Processes in Agency Adjudication. This proposed 
recommendation identifies best practices for developing online 
processes by which private parties, representatives, and other 
participants in agency adjudications can file forms, evidence, and 
briefs; view case materials and status information; receive notices and 
orders; and perform other common adjudicative tasks.
    Virtual Public Engagement in Agency Rulemaking. This proposed 
recommendation identifies best practices to promote enhanced 
transparency, accessibility, and accountability when agencies use 
virtual tools to engage the public in connection with agency rulemaking 
activities. It encourages agencies to offer virtual options when it 
would be beneficial to do so and offers best practices for structuring 
virtual public engagements in a way that meets public expectations and 
promotes valuable input for agency decision makers.

as any changes or updates to the same, can be found at the 79th Plenary
