Many Americans may not spend much time thinking about it, but administrative law plays an essential role in many of the functions government agencies perform every single day. In each episode of Between the Lines, we’ll explore issues ranging from access to justice and court deference to agency interpretations of law to unnecessary burdens placed upon users of administrative processes. Join host Andrew Fois, the chair of the Administrative Conference of the United States, for in-depth discussions with ACUS participants, academic experts, and government officials on contemporary issues in administrative law – and why they matter to agencies’ missions.

This episode of “Between the Lines with the Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS)” will investigate how federal administrative agencies can identify and reduce the burdens that the public faces when interacting with these agencies.
Tens of millions of Americans and small businesses must interact with federal administrative agencies every year. They must do so for a wide variety of reasons including seeking information -- claiming health, retirement, VA, housing, or other benefits -- securing permits and licenses -- paying taxes -- responding to enforcement or adjudication challenges and complying with agency rules and regulations.
Too often people and businesse face unacceptable amounts of “red tape” and other obstacles before they can achieve their goals with federal agencies.
This episode takes listeners “between the lines” of efforts to help agencies do a better job of identifying and then addressing and reducing the red tape that experts call an administrative burden.
Two university professors will discuss a report they provided to ACUS laying out the problem. An ACUS committee chair will then talk about a series of proposals, adopted by the Assembly, about how best to confront these problems of identifying and reducing administrative burden.
Finally an OMB attorney will tell us about the efforts it is making to tackle them.
