The American Bar Association’s House of Delegates recently approved Resolution 106B. The Resolution proposes various reforms to the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), many of which embrace principles endorsed in past Administrative Conference of the United States recommendations. This project identifies points of overlap, and offers the Conference’s views on non-overlapping portions of the Resolution. Issuing a Statement on ABA Resolution 106B offers the Conference an opportunity to endorse a series of reforms that would promote transparency and public participation while enhancing the quality of information received by agencies in the notice-and-comment process.
