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 

objectives of these recommendations are 

to ensure that private rights may be fully 

protected and regulatory activities and 

other Federal responsibilities may be 

carried out expeditiously in the public 

interest, to promote more effective 

public participation and efficiency in 

the rulemaking process, to reduce 

unnecessary litigation in the regulatory 

process, to improve the use of science 

in the regulatory process, and to 

improve the effectiveness of laws 

applicable to the regulatory process. 

The Conference has engaged a 

Professor of Law at New York 

University School of Law, Catherine M. 

Sharkey, to research and prepare a 

report regarding the best practices of 

federal agencies in obtaining input from 

state and local governments and other 

procedures for determining whether to 

preempt state law (the ‘‘Preemption 

Report’’). A copy of the Preemption 

Report will be available at http:// 

www.acus.gov. The Committee on 

Regulation has been tasked with 

reviewing this report and developing 

recommendations for consideration by 

the Assembly of the Conference. 

From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on October 19, 

2010, the Committee on Regulation will 

hold a meeting to consider the 

Preemption Report and formulate 

appropriate recommendations in 

response thereto. This meeting will be

to that time. Members of the public are
