Organization

ACUS is an independent agency within the executive branch. Under the Administrative Conference Act, the agency consists of up to 101 members who meet in regular plenary sessions to consider and vote to adopt recommendations to improve federal administrative processes. Members initially develop recommendations in committees, where they are joined by non-voting senior fellows, special counsels, and liaison representatives appointed under ACUS bylaws.

A presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed Chair serves as chief executive of the agency and oversees a full-time staff within the Office of the Chair. The Office of the Chair supports the work of the membership and undertakes other activities to study and improve federal administrative processes.
