Each day thousands of federal employees work on thousands of rules. A number of procedural questions arise constantly. Rulemaking over adjudication? What are the responsibilities of an agency under the Unfunded Mandates Act? Which regulatory oversight statutes allow for judicial review, which do not?
Administrative law textbooks furnish a wealth of information on how to practice in a court but offer substantially less information on how to practice in a federal agency.
The recently issued ABA publication titled “A Guide to Federal Agency Rulemaking, Fifth Edition, published by the Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice and Government and Public Sector Lawyers Division, by Jeffrey S. Lubbers, closes this void.
The guide is available here.
