Title: Extending Sunset Date for the Attorney Advisor Program 
Abstract:

The Agency is extending the sunset date of the Attorney Advisory Program to continue reducing the hearings backlog and enhance the service we provide to the public. Specifically, the attorney advisor initiative is an integral tool by permitting some attorney advisors to develop claims, including holding prehearing conferences, and, in appropriate cases, issue fully favorable decisions before a hearing is conducted.
