Description
Summary:With the annual meeting upcoming in San Francisco in August, I want to mention that the Section has a proposed resolution concerning the topic of agencies using privately-developed rules "incorporated by reference" scheduled for presentation to the House of Delegates, and, separately, the leaders of our Section's working group on regulatory proposals for the next Administration will update the Council for a discussion about those. With regard to the best-known statute in administrative law, the Administrative Procedure Act, it thus bears mention again that Resolution 106B, which the ABA House of Delegates adopted earlier this year, will remain a significant contribution from the Section, because it includes useful, consensus suggestions about improving the rulemaking provisions of the APA. (The Plan is available at: http://www. americanbar.org/groups/administrative_law/about_us.html, and a summary of the most recent year will also be posted on the Section website.) We have now accomplished most of the Plan's specifications such as expanded educational and topical programs for members; a new joint venture blog and an upgraded website; enhancements to our existing publications, and new features such as ALR Accord, and weekly summaries of D.C. Circuit administrative law decisions; some vital new committees for Legal History, Legal Education, and Regulated Parties' General Counsels; a more engaged format for Council meetings, including guest speakers; and important new policy proposals. [...]we have now implemented nearly all aspects of Parts I-VIII of the Plan. Because of the engagement and contributions of so many of you, the Section is well positioned to continue on the path that has been set in place by that Plan, and to complete its remaining elements.
