SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Committee on Administration and 

Management 

The Committee on Administration 

and Management will meet to consider 

issues arising when agencies use 

‘‘incorporation by reference’’ in 

regulations; i.e., when an agency 

regulation incorporates by reference 

material available elsewhere. Among 

other things, the committee will discuss 

procedural and drafting issues that arise 

when agencies use incorporation by 

reference, challenges agencies face in 

updating such references, and ways to 

ensure the reasonable availability of 

incorporated materials, which may be 

subject to copyright. 

Date: Friday, October 28, 2011, from 

9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 

Designated Federal Officer: Scott 

Rafferty. 

Committee on Collaborative 

Governance 

The Committee on Collaborative 

Governance will consider 

recommending improvements to the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) and the implementation of the 

Act. Potential issues for discussion 

include the chartering requirements for 

advisory committees; improving access 

to committee meetings and materials; 

virtual committee meetings; and other 

improvements that might reduce the 

burdens imposed by FACA or improve 

the transparency of FACA committees. 

The Committee on Collaborative 

Governance may also discuss a project 

regarding the use of third-party 

certification in government inspections. 

Date: Tuesday, October 18, 2011, from 

1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. 

Designated Federal Officer: David 

Pritzker. 

Committee on Judicial Review 

The Committee on Judicial Review 

will discuss potential changes to 28 

U.S.C. 1500, which regulates the 

jurisdiction of the Court of Federal 

Claims (CFC). The statute currently 

deprives the CFC of jurisdiction over a 

claim if the plaintiff has a claim based 

on the same facts pending in another 

court. The committee will consider 

whether this statute should be repealed 

or revised. 

The committee may also consider the 

Congressional Review Act and agency 

practices under the Act. 

Date: Thursday, October 27, 2011, 

from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. 

Designated Federal Officer: Reeve 

Bull. 

Committee on Regulation 

The Committee on Regulation will 

meet to consider a project concerning 

international regulatory cooperation. 

This project will examine how the 

Conference might update its 

Recommendation 91–1, ‘‘Federal 

Agency Cooperation with Foreign 

Government Regulators,’’ in light of 

developments in United States 

government structure, trade agreements, 

and technology since the 

recommendation was adopted 20 years 

ago. 

Date: Tuesday, October 25, 2011, from 

2 p.m. to 5 p.m. 

Designated Federal Officer: Reeve 

Bull. 

Dated: September 28, 2011. 

Jonathan R. Siegel, 

Director of Research and Policy.
