Senate-Confirmed Officials and Administrative Adjudication

Recommendation 2024-3, Senate-Confirmed Officials and Administrative Adjudication – examines, as a legal and practical matter, whether, when, how, and how often agency heads and other Senate-confirmed officials participate in the adjudication of cases across a range of federal administrative programs. For agencies that have decided to provide or are considering providing for participation by Senate-confirmed officials in the adjudication of individual cases, the recommendation identifies principles and practicalities that agencies should consider in structuring such participation and provides best practices for developing and communicating relevant policies regarding such participation.
