Agency Investigative Procedures. This proposed recommendation provides agencies with best practices to promote accuracy, efficiency, and fairness in investigations of specific regulated entities. It provides guidance on initiating investigations; exchanging and considering evidence and arguments; issuing subpoenas and warrants; and deciding whether to terminate an investigation, negotiate with the subject of an investigation, or pursue an action in an administrative or judicial tribunal.
Consultation with State, Local, and Tribal Governments in Regulatory Policymaking. This proposed recommendation provides agencies with best practices for consulting with state, local, and tribal governments when they make or implement regulatory policies that have federalism or tribal implications. It encourages agencies to develop policies on consultation; designate officials responsible for overseeing and facilitating consultation; publicize consultation opportunities; and adopt procedures to consult effectively with state, local, and tribal officials throughout the development and implementation of regulatory policies.
Public Participation in Agency Adjudication. This proposed recommendation provides agencies with best practices regarding public participation in agency adjudicative proceedings. It provides guidance on circumstances in which public participation may be appropriate; options for public participation; and methods for facilitating public participation effectively.
