SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Conference of the United 
States makes recommendations to federal agencies, the President, 
Congress, and the Judicial Conference of the United States regarding 
the improvement of administrative procedures (5 U.S.C. 594). The 
membership of the Conference, when meeting in plenary session, 
constitutes the Assembly of the Conference (5 U.S.C. 595).
    Agenda: The Assembly will consider two proposed recommendations as 
described below:
    Consumer Complaint Databases. This proposed recommendation 
encourages agencies that make consumer complaints publicly available 
through online databases or downloadable data sets to adopt and publish 
written policies governing the dissemination of such information to the 
public. These policies should inform the public of the source and 
limitations of the information and permit entities publicly identified 
to respond or request corrections or retractions.
    Aggregation of Similar Claims in Agency Adjudication. This proposed 
recommendation provides guidance to agencies on the use of aggregation 
techniques to resolve similar claims in adjudications. It sets forth 
procedures for determining whether aggregation is appropriate. It also 
considers what kinds of aggregation techniques should be used in 
certain cases and offers guidance on how to structure the aggregation 
proceedings to promote both efficiency and fairness.

order of the agenda, as well as other materials related to the meeting,
