SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additional information about the 

committee meetings, the nature of the 

projects and related materials, how to 

attend (including information about 

remote access and obtaining special 

accommodations for persons with 

disabilities), can be found on the 

‘‘Research Projects’’ and ‘‘Meetings & 

Events’’ sections of the Conference’s 

Web site (www.acus.gov). 

Agendas: The committees will meet to 

consider reports by Conference 

consultants on current projects and 

prepare recommendations for 

consideration by the Assembly. 

Committee on Adjudication: The 

Committee on Adjudication will meet to 

consider a draft report and 

recommendations on social security 

disability adjudication. The report, 

prepared by Professors Harold Krent 

and Scott Morris, presents findings and 

recommendations based on legal and 

empirical analysis of the Social Security 

Administration’s adjudication of Social 

Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

claims. 

Committee on Judicial Review: The 

Committee on Judicial Review will meet 

to consider a draft report prepared by 

Leland Beck on the composition and 

compilation of administrative records 

prepared by federal agencies for use in 

informal agency regulatory proceedings 

and, if agency decisionmaking is 

challenged, for the purpose of review by 

federal courts. The committee will also 

consider draft recommendations based 

on this report. 

Committee on Regulation: The 

Committee on Regulation will meet to 

discuss two projects. First, the 

committee will consider a revised report 

by Professor Wendy Wagner examining 

the use of science by administrative 

agencies, as well as a set of proposed 

recommendations, based in part on her 

work, which aim to enhance the 

transparency and integrity of agencies’ 

scientific factfinding. The committees 

will also consider a draft report and 

recommendations related to benefit-cost 

analysis at independent regulatory 

agencies. The draft report, prepared by 

Curtis Copeland, chronicles the work of 

independent agencies to assess the 

benefits and costs related to their 

rulemakings and highlights certain 

practices related to economic analysis 

for consideration by these agencies. 

Committee on Rulemaking: The 

Committee on Rulemaking will meet to 

consider a draft report and 

recommendations on the policy and 

legal issues implicated by agency use of 

social media to support rulemaking. The 

Conference’s consultant for this project 

is Professor Michael Herz.
