Telephone 202-480-2080; email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Conference of the United 
States makes recommendations to federal agencies, the President, 
Congress, and the Judicial Conference of the United States regarding 
the improvement of administrative procedures (5 U.S.C. 594). ACUS's 
membership, when meeting in plenary session, constitutes the Assembly 
of the Conference (5 U.S.C. 595).
    Agenda: Three proposed recommendations will be considered by the 
Assembly. In addition, there will be updates on past, current, and 
pending ACUS initiatives, as well as other business. Summaries of the 
recommendations appear below:
    Using Algorithmic Tools in Regulatory Enforcement. This proposed 
recommendation provides best practices for using artificial 
intelligence, predictive analytics, and other algorithmic tools to 
support agencies' regulatory enforcement efforts. It addresses the 
potential benefits and risks of using algorithmic tools to detect, 
investigate, and prosecute noncompliance with the law and identifies 
policies, practices, and organizational structures that agencies can 
put in place to ensure they enforce the law fairly, accurately, and 
efficiently.
    Public Engagement in Agency Rulemaking Under the Good Cause 
Exemption: This proposed recommendation provides best practices for 
public engagement when agencies find good cause to forgo notice-and-
comment rulemaking procedures under the Administrative Procedure Act. 
It encourages agencies to use direct final rulemaking, interim final 
rulemaking, and alternative methods of public engagement to ensure 
robust public participation even when they rely properly on the good 
cause exemption.
    Nonlawyer Assistance and Representation. This proposed 
recommendation provides best practices for agencies to increase the 
availability of nonlawyer representation and assistance to participants 
in their adjudicative systems. It provides guidance on the 
establishment of rules authorizing qualification or, as appropriate, 
accreditation of nonlawyer representatives; ways to make such processes 
accessible and transparent; and strategies for coordinating with other 
government agencies and nongovernmental organizations to increase the 
availability of representation and assistance.
    Additional information about the proposals and the agenda, as well 
as any changes or updates to the same, can be found at the 82nd Plenary 
Session page on ACUS's website prior to the start of the meeting at:
