Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS)

The Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) is an independent federal agency in the executive branch charged with identifying and promoting improvements in the efficiency, adequacy, and fairness of the procedures by which federal agencies conduct regulatory programs, administer grants and benefits, protect the public interest, and perform other essential governmental functions.  ACUS has issued hundreds of  recommendations  since 1968 to improve the efficiency, adequacy, and fairness of rulemaking, adjudication, and other administrative processes. Many have resulted in reforms by federal agencies, the President, Congress, and the Judicial Conference of the United States.  ***ACUS does not maintain immigration records of any kind. More generally, ACUS does not have any personal records (e.g., health records, prison records, police records, background check records, etc.) about individuals that have no affiliation or association with ACUS.***
