In 1986. Congress extended EAJAs coverage to include the Program Fraud Civil Romedies Act. It is reasonable. I believe. to investigate whether certain agency proceedings. such as deportation cases. that are nearly identical to proceedings covered by section 554 should be likewise covered by EAJA. It may be appropriate to expand EAJA to cover certain cases subject to proceedings which are substantially the same as. but not specifically covered by. the Administrative Procedure Act. The study provision is also meant to be responsive to recommendations made by members of a business advisory group with whom I meet on a regular basis.
