Notice of Availability of Revised Model Adjudication Rules

The Office of the Chairman of the Administrative Conference of the United States, through its Model Adjudication Rules Working Group, has completed a revision of the Conference's 1993 Model Adjudication Rules. The rules are intended for use by all Federal agencies when designing new, and revising existing, procedural rules governing agency adjudications that involve a trial-type hearing--whether conducted pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act), other statutes, agency regulations, or practice--that offers an opportunity for fact-finding before an adjudicator, whether or not the adjudicator is an administrative law judge. The final revised Model Adjudication Rules are available at https:/ /www.acus.gov/model-rules/model-adjudication-rules.
