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: Friday, October 28, 2011, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Designated Federal Officer: Scott Rafferty.
Committee on Collaborative Governance
The Committee on Collaborative Governance will consider
recommending 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 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 may also discuss a
project regarding the use of third-party certification in government
inspections.
Date: Tuesday, October 18, 2011, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Designated Federal Officer: David Pritzker.
Committee on Judicial Review
The Committee on Judicial Review 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whether this statute should be repealed or revised.
The committee may also consider the Congressional Review Act and
agency practices under the Act.
Date: Thursday, October 27, 2011, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 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.
Date: Tuesday, October 25, 2011, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Designated Federal Officer: Reeve Bull.
Dated: September 28, 2011.
Jonathan R. Siegel,
Director of Research and Policy.
