APPENDIX—RECOMMENDATION OF
THE ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE
OF THE UNITED STATES
Administrative Conference Recommendation
2015–1
Promoting Accuracy and Transparency in
the Unified Agenda
Adopted June 4, 2015
The Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory
and Deregulatory Actions (typically known
simply as the ‘‘Unified Regulatory Agenda’’
or ‘‘Unified Agenda’’) is an important
mechanism by which federal agencies inform
the public of upcoming rules. Required to be
published on a semiannual basis, the Unified
Agenda represents a joint enterprise of the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA), the Regulatory Information Service
Center (RISC) within the General Services
Administration, and the individual
rulemaking agencies working on rules. The
database used to produce the Unified Agenda
is the RISC–OIRA Consolidated Information
System (ROCIS). Publishing upcoming rules
in the Unified Agenda satisfies requirements
of both the Regulatory Flexibility Act 1 and
Executive Order 12,866.2
The Unified Agenda serves the useful
function of notifying stakeholders and the
general public of upcoming regulatory
actions.3 In an increasingly globalized world,
this notice-serving function is valuable not
only for domestic stakeholders but also for
foreign businesses and regulators, who must

remain apprised of developments in U.S.
policymaking in order to coordinate
effectively in promoting international
regulatory cooperation.4 Thus, it is critical to
ensure that the information in the Unified
Agenda is as accurate as possible to allow
regulators and stakeholders to plan
accordingly.
At the same time, it is unrealistic to expect
that agencies can provide perfectly accurate
predictions of upcoming actions. There will
always be some uncertainty, given the
dynamic environment in which agencies
operate, and the information contained in the
Unified Agenda will never achieve total
predictive accuracy. The Agenda itself states
that agencies are permitted to issue rules that
were not predicted by the Agenda and are not
required to issue rules that were so predicted.
In addition, agencies may have limited time
or resources to prepare Agenda entries.
The Unified Agenda functions reasonably
well as a predictor of some agency actions,
but is less accurate in other areas.5 For
example, estimated action dates may prove
incorrect, the significance of a regulation may
be misclassified, and jointly issued rules may
inappropriately be characterized differently
by different agencies. Additionally, some
rules are classified as long-term actions when
regulatory activity is imminent, while others
remain listed as long-term actions after work
on them has ceased. Occasionally, entries are
removed from the Unified Agenda without
explanation. Finally, a number of regulatory
actions have recently been placed in a
‘‘pending’’ category that is not included in
the published Unified Agenda.6
As technology has evolved, some agencies
have begun to provide periodic updates on
the progress of their rulemaking efforts on
their Web sites and other media between the
semiannual Agenda publication dates.
Though this may not prove feasible in all
instances, there are steps that agencies,
OIRA, and RISC might take to ensure that the
public has consolidated access to this
information to the extent this updating takes
place.7
The touchstone of the process should be
transparency: although complete predictive
accuracy is infeasible, all agencies that
contribute to the Unified Agenda should
strive to ensure that it offers the most up-to4 See Administrative Conference of the United
States, Recommendation 2011–6, International
Regulatory Cooperation, ¶ 3, 77 FR 2257, 2260 (Jan.
17, 2012) (advocating the establishment of common
regulatory agendas among trading partners).
5 See generally Copeland, supra note 3.
6 One consequence of eliminating the ‘‘pending’’
category and moving all active entries to the publicfacing Unified Agenda, as recommended below,
may be an increase in the total number of
regulations in the Agenda, even though the number
of rules under development has not actually
increased.
7 It may prove especially valuable for agencies’
Unified Agenda entries to provide a link to the
rulemaking docket on ‘‘regulations.gov.’’

date, valuable information possible. The
following recommendations are designed to
identify straightforward, simple steps that
OIRA, RISC, and rulemaking agencies can
take to enhance the predictive accuracy of
the Unified Agenda and ensure that it
remains a valuable resource for regulators,
stakeholders, and the general public.
Recommendation
1. Federal agencies should take steps to
provide on their Web sites and/or, where
appropriate, through other media, periodic
updates concerning rulemaking
developments outside of the semiannual
reporting periods connected with the Unified
Agenda. These periodic updates would likely
focus primarily on concrete actions
undertaken in connection with particular
rules (e.g., noting if a rule has been issued
since the last Agenda), but could also include
changes regarding rules still under
development (e.g., revisions to predicted
issuance dates or significance classification).
Each agency’s Unified Agenda entry should
include a notice of where information about
updates can be found; if updates are
published on the agency’s Web site, a link to
the appropriate Web pages should be
included in the Unified Agenda. OIRA and
RISC should also facilitate sharing among
agencies of best practices for providing
periodic, digital updates on rulemaking
developments.
2. OIRA and RISC should provide a
mechanism for linking the information
contained in the Unified Agenda and other
regulatory data systems (e.g., the Federal
Register and other parts of ROCIS) that
would, where feasible, enable the Agenda
information to be updated automatically. For
example, if the Unified Agenda indicates that
a proposed rule is forthcoming, and that rule
is published in the Federal Register months
before the next edition of the Agenda is
issued, the Federal Register entry should
result in an automatic update to the Agenda.
3. Federal agencies should not keep
regulations that are still under active
development in a ‘‘pending’’ category. The
‘‘pending’’ category should be included in
the published Unified Agenda. OIRA should
define the criteria distinguishing between
‘‘long term’’ and ‘‘pending’’ actions.
4. In instances in which a Unified Agenda
entry has been in the ‘‘proposed rule’’ or
‘‘final rule’’ stage for three or more Agendas
in a row, the agency should reexamine the
entry to determine whether action on it is
likely in the twelve months after the
publication of the most recent Agenda. If not,
the agency should reclassify the entry as a
‘‘long-term’’ action or, if the regulatory action
is no longer in development, remove it from
the Unified Agenda entirely, with the
notation described in recommendation 7. If
the agency is uncertain as to whether the
proposed or final rule might be issued within
twelve months, it should provide, where
appropriate, an explanation in the associated
Agenda entry.
5. To the extent feasible, agencies should
ensure that any regulatory actions that are
likely to occur in the ensuing twelve months
(e.g., hearings or proposed or final rules) are
included in the appropriate active ‘‘Stage of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:15 Jun 25, 2015
Jkt 235001
Rulemaking’’ category (i.e., the ‘‘prerule,’’
‘‘proposed rule,’’ or ‘‘final rule’’ stage), rather
than in the ‘‘long-term’’ action category.
Long-term actions are intended to reflect
items that are under development but for
which the agency does not expect to
undertake a regulatory action in the twelve
months after the publication of the most
recent Agenda.
6. In instances in which a Unified Agenda
entry has been in the ‘‘long-term’’ category
for an extended period of time, the agency
should reexamine the entry to ensure that it
is still under development. If not, the agency
should remove the entry from the Unified
Agenda, with the notation described in
recommendation 7.
7. Unified Agenda entries that have
previously appeared in the Agenda should
not simply disappear in the next edition.
When an agency determines that it no longer
intends to pursue any additional rulemaking
activity with respect to such an entry, the
agency should reclassify the entry as
completed and indicate how the action was
completed.
8. For rules expected to be jointly issued
by more than one agency, the agencies
should strive to ensure that the descriptive
information provided in the Unified Agenda,
including the timing of the rule’s issuance
and its classification as a ‘‘significant’’ or
‘‘major’’ regulatory action, is accurate across
all of the agencies’ entries. To the extent
possible, OIRA and RISC should encourage
agencies to publish a single Agenda entry for
the joint rule. Where this is not possible,
each agency’s Unified Agenda entry should
include a link to the other associated entry
or entries.
9. At present, the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (RFA) elements of the Unified Agenda
and associated materials are ambiguous,
making it difficult for agencies to know how
to respond. For example, it is currently
unclear if agencies should indicate whether
an upcoming regulatory action is expected to
have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities or
whether some type of RFA analysis will be
conducted. OIRA should change the wording
of the RFA elements in the Unified Agenda
and associated materials to reflect the intent
more clearly and should provide guidance to
agencies to ensure that the meaning is clear.
