Clarifying Statutory Access to Judicial Review of Agency Action

Recommendation 2021-5, Clarifying Statutory Access to Judicial Review of Agency Action  urges Congress to enact a cross-cutting statute that addresses certain recurring technical problems in statutory provisions governing judicial review of agency action that may cause unfairness, inefficiency, or unnecessary litigation. It also offers drafting principles for Congress when it writes new or amends existing judicial review statutes. It draws in large part on ACUS’s forthcoming Sourcebook of Federal Judicial Review Statutes, which analyzes the provisions in the U.S. Code governing judicial review of agency action.

Recommended Citation: Admin. Conf. of the U.S., Recommendation 2021-5, Clarifying Statutory Access to Judicial Review of Agency Action, 86 Fed. Reg. 53262 (Sept. 27, 2021).
