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''). A 
copy of the Preemption Report will be 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.
    From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on October 19, 2010, the Committee on 
Regulation will hold a meeting to consider the Preemption Report and 
formulate appropriate recommendations in response thereto. This meeting 
will be open to the public and may end prior to 5 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.
    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 
15, 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 at the discretion of 
the Committee Chair, with unanimous approval of the Committee. The 
Conference welcomes the attendance of the public and will make every 
effort to accommodate persons with physical disabilities or special 
needs. If you need special accommodations due to a disability, please
