JUDICIAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED STATES
Proposed Long Range Plan for the Federal Courts
AGENCY: Judicial Conference of the United States.
ACTION: Notice of Conference actions concerning the Proposed Long Range
Plan for the Federal Courts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 14, 1995, the Judicial Conference of the United States
received from its Committee on Long Range Planning a Proposed Long
Range Plan for the Federal Courts. The Proposed Plan is similar in
format and content to the tentative proposal that the Committee
circulated to the public last November (59 FR 55704) but contains
changes made by the Committee to reflect comments received in writing
and at public hearings with respect to the earlier version.
In receiving the Proposed Plan, the Judicial Conference authorized
public distribution of the document and took the following actions
regarding the provisions of the Plan:
1. The Conference allowed its individual members until April 11,
1995, to request referral of any specific numbered recommendations to
the appropriate Conference committees for further study and report to
the September 1995 Conference session.
2. The Conference approved, effective April 12, 1995, all
recommendations in the Proposed Plan not subsequently identified for
further study and report as described above. Approval of a Plan
recommendation includes the corresponding implementation strategies but
not the supporting commentary.
In accordance with this procedure, the following items were
approved, effective April 12, 1995, as part of the Long Range Plan for
the Federal Courts:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because most of the deferred items involve policy issues, they were
assigned to the Conference committees with responsibility for the
programs or topics in question and will be the subject of reports at
the September 1995 Conference session. The Conference's Executive
Committee was also assigned to consider the 11 recommendations (1-3, 5-
6, 9, 11, 16, 30 76, 98) and one implementation strategy (39b) on which
purely technical questions were raised. After consulting with
Conference members, the Executive Committee, on May 31, 1995, approved
those 12 items on the Conference's behalf with minor word changes
intended to clarify, improve accuracy, or adjust tone without altering
substantive meaning.
The Long Range Plan is a guide to policy making and administrative
action by the Conference and other judicial branch authorities.
However, only those items approved by the Judicial Conference represent
Conference policies. All commentary on recommendations and
implementation strategies and all other Plan provisions (including the
recommendations and implementation strategies on which Conference
members have requested further study) merely reflect the views of the
Committee on Long Range Planning unless expressly approved by the
Conference in subsequent proceedings.
