Summary:

Addresses issues regarding pace at which agencies establish rules and complete adjudications. Provides overview of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), which imposes a general time restraint on administrative agencies. Outlines timing requirements imposed by APA, discusses available judicial remedies when actions are found to be unreasonably delayed, and examines cases where courts have been asked to compel agency action. Discusses legislative tools that Congress can use to try to set agency priorities.
