    The Administrative Conference of the United States has adopted three key recommendations. The first focuses on the use of algorithmic tools in regulatory enforcement, offering guidance on balancing efficiency with ethical concerns. The second recommendation emphasizes enhancing public engagement in agency rulemaking, especially when the usual notice-and-comment procedures are bypassed. The third recommendation suggests expanding nonlawyer assistance and representation in agency adjudications to ensure fair access for all individuals involved in legal and administrative processes.

    The NCUA Board has finalized a rule to adjust the maximum amounts of civil monetary penalties (CMPs) it can impose, based on inflation, as mandated by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act. These adjustments, which must be made annually, are calculated by comparing the consumer price index for previous years. The new rule takes effect immediately upon publication and applies to penalties assessed for violations from November 2, 2015, onward. The adjustments are largely technical and do not require public notice or comment.
