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’’). The Committee on Regulation 

is already scheduled to meet on October 

19, 2010 to discuss the Preemption 

Report, a copy of which is 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. A draft 

recommendation will be prepared based 

upon the Preemption Report (the 

‘‘Preemption Recommendation’’). 

From 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on 

November 2, 2010, the Committee on 

Regulation will hold a second public 

meeting to consider the Preemption 

Recommendation. This meeting will be 

open to the public and may end prior 

to 12:30 p.m. 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. A 

copy of the Preemption 

Recommendation will be available at 

http://www.acus.gov. 

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 

Conference’s Web site, http:// 

www.acus.gov, by no later than October 

29, 2010, and will also be available by 

the same date by calling the phone 

number listed above. Members of the 

public who attend the Committee’s 

meeting may be permitted to speak only
