Section 569. Encouraging negotiated rulemaking
(a) The President shall designate an agency or designate or
establish an interagency committee to facilitate and encourage
agency use of negotiated rulemaking. An agency that is considering,
planning, or conducting a negotiated rulemaking may consult with
such agency or committee for information and assistance.
(b) To carry out the purposes of this subchapter, an agency
planning or conducting a negotiated rulemaking may accept, hold,
administer, and utilize gifts, devises, and bequests of property,
both real and personal if that agency's acceptance and use of such
gifts, devises, or bequests do not create a conflict of interest.
Gifts and bequests of money and proceeds from sales of other
property received as gifts, devises, or bequests shall be deposited
in the Treasury and shall be disbursed upon the order of the head
of such agency. Property accepted pursuant to this section, and the
proceeds thereof, shall be used as nearly as possible in accordance
with the terms of the gifts, devises, or bequests.
