About the Database

Included at no additional cost for subscribers of HeinOnline's U.S. Federal Agency Documents, Decisions, and Appeals database.

HeinOnline’s Administration Conference of the United States database was developed in conjunction with the Conference to bring its reports, recommendations, and other works to a larger audience.

The collection is a comprehensive record of the Conference’s work from its commencement until 1995, with additional works from the period after its re-establishment in 2010 included as well. Within the database, researchers can browse the Implementation Files, which illustrate the research behind each of the Conference’s recommendations, organized both by index term and alphabetically.

New content will continue to be added to this database as the Conference releases publications.

 

About the Administrative Conference of the United States

The Administrative Conference of the United States was established in 1964 in a bipartisan effort to continue the effective work of temporary administrative conferences that served the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. An independent federal agency of the executive branch, the ACUS works to identify and promote improvements in efficiency, adequacy, and fairness of federal agency procedures. It consists of anywhere from 75 to 101 members from the public and private sectors who convene in regular plenary sessions to consider and vote on recommendations to improve administrative processes within the executive branch.

Since its founding, the ACUS has had a hand in the passage of a number of pieces of legislation, such as the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act and the Negotiated Rulemaking Act. The Conference ceased operations in 1995 due to loss of funding, but the provisions establishing it were not repealed, and it continued to make recommendations. Due to its beneficial impact on government function during its nearly 30 years of operation, Congress reauthorized the Conference in 2004 and 2008 and approved funding in 2009. The Conference officially re-convened in 2010.
