EXISTING AGENCY PRACTICES TO IDENTIFY AND REDUCE * Pamela Herd is a professor at Georgetown University, Donald Moynihan is a professor at Georgetown University, and Amy Widman is a professor at Rutgers Law School. This Article is based on a report prepared for the consideration of the Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS). PAMELA HERD, DONALD MOYNIHAN & AMY WIDMAN, IDENTIFYLNG AND REDUCLNG BURDENS IN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES (Dec. 5, 2023) (re- port to the Admin. Conf. of the U.S.). Further, this Article draws from our research as aca- demic consultants to the ACUS, which adopted Recommendation 2023-6, Identifying and Reducing Burdens in Administrative Processes. See Adoption of Recommendation, 89 Fed. Reg. 1,509 (Jan. 10, 2024). As with the earlier report, this Article represents the views of the authors and not necessarily those of the ACUS, its Council, members or committees, or the federal government. The authors would also like to recognize the assistance of ACUS staff and management, and Eloise Pasachoff and members of the ACUS Committee on Admin- istration and Management. Special thanks Matthew Gluth for his guidance throughout this project. We also express appreciation to the staff members of agencies who furnished inter- view data about burdens. We have protected their anonymity. Mario Bennetti and Frederick Davis provided outstanding research assistance on this project, and we thank the editors at the Adminisative Law Review as well. 243
