In this episode of Between the Lines with ACUS, host Andrew Fois looks “between the lines” of the issues surrounding administrative agency use of contractors in rulemaking.
Contractors are ubiquitous in the federal government performing a wide range of functions in the rulemaking process. Two academic experts, who wrote a report for ACUS in 2022 on the subject will discuss the way agencies use contractors in rulemaking, the advantages and disadvantages of doing so, and the legal and other obligations that such use involves. The report informed an official ACUS Recommendation on the subject.
In the second half, we will meet Chai Feldblum, an accomplished attorney and a public ACUS member who has had an amazing career in administrative law.
