SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Administrative Conference of the

developing recommendations for the
improvement of Federal administrative
procedures (5 U.S.C. 591).
The Conference has engaged a
Professor of Law at Washington
University in St. Louis School of Law,
Kathleen Clark, to research and prepare
a report regarding whether ethics
regulations analogous to those
applicable to government employees
should apply to government contractors
and, if so, how such regulations should
be imposed (the ‘‘Ethics Report’’). A
copy of the Ethics Report is available at
https://www.acus.gov. The Committee on
Administration met on November 3,
2010 to discuss the Ethics Report and
the broader issue of whether and how
the regulations applicable to
government contractors and their
employees should be expanded.
From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on December
9, 2010, the committee will discuss a
draft recommendation based on the
Ethics Report and on the discussion
from the first meeting. A copy of the
draft recommendation will be made
available at https://www.acus.gov prior to
the December 9, 2010 meeting. This
meeting will be open to the public and
may end prior to 11 a.m. if business is
concluded prior to that time. Members
of the public are invited to attend the
meeting in person, subject to space
limitations, and the Conference will also
provide remote public access to the
meeting.
Anyone who wishes to attend the
meeting in person is asked to RSVP to
Comments@acus.gov. Remote access
information will be posted on the
Conference’s Web site, https://
www.acus.gov, by no later than
December 6, 2010 and will also be
available by the same date by calling the
phone number listed above. Members of
