SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Conference of the United
States (ACUS) is charged with developing recommendations for the
improvement of Federal administrative procedures (5 U.S.C. 591). The
objectives of these recommendations are to ensure that private rights
may be fully protected and regulatory activities and other Federal
responsibilities may be carried out expeditiously in the public
interest, to promote more effective public participation and efficiency
in the rulemaking process, to reduce unnecessary litigation in the
regulatory process, to improve the use of science in the regulatory
process, and to improve the effectiveness of laws applicable to the
regulatory process.
The Conference has engaged a Professor of Law at New York
University School of Law, Catherine M. Sharkey, to research and prepare
a report regarding the best practices of federal agencies in obtaining
input from state and local governments and other procedures for
determining whether to preempt state law (the ``Preemption Report'').
The Committee on Regulation is already scheduled to meet on October 19,
2010 to discuss the Preemption Report, a copy of which is available at
http://www.acus.gov. The Committee on Regulation has been tasked with
reviewing this report and developing recommendations for consideration
by the Assembly of the Conference. A draft recommendation will be
prepared based upon the Preemption Report (the ``Preemption
Recommendation'').
From 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on November 2, 2010, the Committee on
Regulation will hold a second public meeting to consider the Preemption
Recommendation. This meeting will be open to the public and may end
prior to 12:30 p.m. if business is concluded prior to that time.
Members of the public are invited to attend the meeting in person,
subject to space limitations, and the Conference will also provide
remote public access to the meeting. A copy of the Preemption
Recommendation will be available at http://www.acus.gov.
Anyone who wishes to attend the meeting in person is asked to RSVP
to [email protected]. Remote access information will be posted on the
Conference's Web site, http://www.acus.gov, by no later than October
29, 2010, and will also be available by the same date by calling the
phone number listed above. Members of the public who attend the
Committee's meeting may be permitted to speak only at the discretion of
the Committee Chair, with unanimous approval of the Committee. The
Conference welcomes the attendance of the public and will make every
effort to accommodate persons with physical disabilities or special

Recommendation to either of the addresses listed above no later than
