In Recommendation 2021-9, Regulation of Representatives in Agency Adjudicative Proceedings, the Administrative Conference of the United States recommended that the ACUS Office of the Chairman “consider promulgating model rules of conduct” consistent with the Recommendation and, in doing so, “seek the input of a diverse array of agency officials and members of the public, including representatives who appear before agencies, and the American Bar Association.”
The Office of the Chairman has convened a Working Group of public- and private-sector representatives to develop model rules of representative conduct that, as contemplated by Recommendation 2021-9, “account for variation in agency practice and afford agencies the flexibility to determine which rules apply to their adjudicative proceedings.” The resulting model rules are intended to help federal agencies amend or develop their rules governing representatives in adjudicative proceedings consistent with the best practices identified in Recommendation 2021-9.
