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rules that are outdated or redundant,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.
