ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE OF 

THE UNITED STATES 

Notice of Availability of Model Rules of 

Representative Conduct 

AGENCY: Administrative Conference of 

the United States. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Office of the Chair of the 

Administrative Conference of the 

United States (ACUS), through its 

Working Group on Model Rules of 

Representative Conduct, has completed 

and published its Model Rules of 

Representative Conduct. The rules are 

intended to help federal agencies amend 

or develop their rules governing 

representatives in adjudicative 

proceedings. 

The final revised Model Rules of 

Representative Conduct are available at 

https://www.acus.gov/research-projects/ 

working-group-model-rulesrepresentative-conduct. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Matthew Gluth, Deputy Research 

Director, Administrative Conference of 

the United States, 1120 20th Street NW, 

Suite 706 South, Washington, DC 20036; 

Telephone 202–480–2080; email 

mgluth@acus.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Administrative Conference Act, 5 U.S.C. 

591–596, established ACUS. The 

Conference studies the efficiency, 

adequacy, and fairness of the 

administrative procedures used by 

Federal agencies and makes 

recommendations for improvements to 

agencies, the President, Congress, and 

the Judicial Conference of the United 

States. The Chair of the Conference 

oversees a full-time staff within the 

Office of the Chair. The Office of the 

Chair supports the activities of the 

Assembly and undertakes many other 

activities to carry out the mission and 

functions of ACUS. 

In 2019, ACUS adopted 

Recommendation 2021–9, Regulation of 

Representatives in Agency Adjudicative 

Proceedings, 87 FR 1721 (Jan. 12, 2022), 

which offers best practices for agencies 

to consider when developing rules 

governing the participation and conduct 

of attorneys and non-attorneys who 

represent parties in adjudicative 

proceedings. Recommendation 2021–9 

also recommended that the Office of the 

Chair ‘‘consider promulgating model 

rules of conduct’’ consistent with the 

Recommendation and, in doing so, 

‘‘seek the input of a diverse array of 

agency officials and members of the 

public, including representatives who 

appear before agencies, and the 

American Bar Association.’’ In 2023, the 

Chair convened a Working Group of 

public- and private-sector 

representatives to develop Model Rules 

of Representative Conduct that, as 

contemplated by Recommendation 

2021–9, ‘‘account for variation in agency 

practice and afford agencies the 

flexibility to determine which rules 

apply to their adjudicative 

proceedings.’’ 

The Working Group was composed of 

distinguished experts in the field of 

administrative adjudication, ranging 

from adjudicators and agency officials to 

private practitioners and academics. It 

first convened in February 2023 and met 

regularly throughout the following year 

to consider and ultimately approve a 

final draft of these Model Rules. The 

resulting Model Rules—which create a 

transparent, easily accessible set of 

guidelines that facilitate a wide range of 

representation in a broad array of 

agency proceedings—are intended to 

help federal agencies amend or develop 

their rules governing representatives in 

adjudicative proceedings consistent 

with the best practices identified in 

Recommendation 2021–9. 

Additional information about ACUS’s 

Model Rules of Representative Conduct 

project—including drafts, a listing of the 

Working Group members, and other 

related information—can be found on
