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: Wednesday, September 21, 

2011, from 2 to 5 p.m. 

Designated Federal Officer: Scott 

Rafferty. 

Committee on Collaborative 

Governance 

The Committee on Collaborative 

Governance will meet to consider two 

projects. The committee will consider 

recommending potential 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, asynchronous 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 will also discuss a project 

regarding the use of third-party 

certification in government inspections. 

Date: Tuesday, September 20, 2011, 

from 1 to 4 p.m. 

Designated Federal Officer: David 

Pritzker. 

Committee on Judicial Review 

The Committee on Judicial Review 

will meet to consider two projects. First, 

it 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 creates a trap for 

unwary litigants and whether it should 

be repealed or revised. 

The committee will also consider 

recommending improvements to the 

Congressional Review Act. The 

committee will discuss whether better 

procedures could be implemented to 

assist Congress in identifying 

regulations that should be reviewed 

under the Act and in conducting such 

review. 

Date: Tuesday, September 27, from 

1:30 to 4 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. 

The committee will also discuss a 

project relating to the Government in 

the Sunshine Act. This project is 

designed to determine whether the Act 

inhibits deliberation at multi-member 

agencies, and whether the Act might be 

improved in a way that promotes better 

deliberation while still serving the 

openness goals of the Act. 

Date: Friday, September 30, from 9:30 

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

Designated Federal Officer: Reeve 

Bull. 

Dated: August 30, 2011.

Director of Research & Policy.
