Chair’s Foreword

I am pleased to introduce the fourth edition of the Federal Administra-

tive Procedure Sourcebook. The Sourcebook is an invaluable resource for prac-

titioners, judges, and academics. It contains the most significant statutes relating

to the fundamental processes by which the agencies of government operate

on a day-to-day basis in enforcing the law, making policy, and resolving

disputes. The Sourcebook describes and analyzes these statutes and provides a

ready reference source on their operation, history, and interpretation. The

2008 revision adds two new statutes—the E-Government Act of 2002 and the

Information Quality Act—and covers scores of statutory amendments, regu-

latory changes, and executive orders since the prior edition was published in

2000.

This Sourcebook is just one of many services this section offers its mem-

bers. The section brings together lawyers accomplished in administrative law

from government, private practice, and academia of all ideological stripes. I

invite you to participate in the many interesting and important activities of

the ABA Section on Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice.
