Public Participation in Agency Adjudication

This project will recommend best practices regarding public participation in agency adjudicative proceedings. Among other topics, it will address circumstances in which public participation may be appropriate; options for public participation (e.g., written comments, oral presentations, intervention, amicus briefing); methods for facilitating public participation (e.g., notice, managing oral and written comments, technology use); and agencies’ use of information obtained through public engagement efforts.
