## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Administrative & Public Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/administrative-and-public-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | One row per filing, notice, or exhibit. Columns are the date on the document, the name, and the page count. Do not describe what the hearing should decide. |
| What the lawyer must review | 5 U.S.C. § 554 applies to an adjudication required by statute to be determined on the record after an agency hearing, subject to the exclusions in § 554(a). Section 554(b) requires notice of the time, place, and nature of the hearing, the legal authority, and the matters of fact and law. Section 554(c) gives an opportunity to submit facts and arguments and, where the parties cannot settle, a hearing under §§ 556 and 557. You decide whether § 554 applies. The list is an index. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: One row per filing, notice, or exhibit. Columns are the date on the document, the name, and the page count. Do not describe what the hearing should decide.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Many state hearings are under a state administrative procedure act. Section 554 is federal.
- Section 706 is the scope of judicial review of final agency action. The chronology does not pick a review ground.
