SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Administrative Conference of the 

United States (ACUS) is charged with 

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 

http://www.acus.gov. The Committee on 

Administration met on November 3, 

2010 to discuss the Ethics Report and 

again on December 9, 2010 to discuss a 

draft recommendation on expanding the 

ethics rules applicable to government 

contractors and their employees. 

From 9 a.m. to 12 noon on March 16, 

2011, the committee will discuss a 

revised draft recommendation based on 

the Ethics Report and on the discussion 

from the first two meetings. A copy of 

the draft recommendation will be made 

available at http://www.acus.gov prior to 

the March 16, 2011 meeting. This 

meeting will be open to the public and 

may end prior to 12 noon 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

www.acus.gov, by no later than March 

14, 2011, and will also be available by 

the same date by calling the phone

that importers submit a declaration at 

the time of importation for certain 

plants and plant products. The Act also 

requires us to review the 

implementation of the declaration 

requirements, and to provide public 

notice and opportunity for comment 

while conducting the review. The 

purpose of this notice is to inform the 

public that we are conducting the 

required review and to request 

comments on the implementation of the 

declaration requirements.
