Evidentiary Hearings Not Required by the Administrative Procedure Act

Recommendation 2016-4 – Evidentiary Hearings Not Required by the Administrative Procedure Act offers best practices to agencies for structuring evidentiary hearings that are not required by the Administrative Procedure Act. It suggests ways to ensure the integrity of the decisionmaking process; sets forth recommended pre-hearing, hearing, and post-hearing practices; and urges agencies to describe their practices in a publicly accessible document and seek periodic feedback on those practices.
