The CFPB is asking for comment on its administrative adjudication process—the latest inquiry in Acting Director Mick Mulvaney's review of agency policies.
The agency said that since its establishment, there have been eight administrative adjudication proceedings that were not resolved by issuing a consent order. Six of those were settled during the process, one is continuing, and one resulted in a final decision.
"The Bureau understands, however, that the administrative adjudication process can result in undue burdens, impacts, or costs on the parties subject to these proceedings," the CFPB said.

Among other issues, CFPB officials said they want to know if the administrative adjudication process works well or if disputes should be settled in federal court.
Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, is running the agency following the resignation of Richard Cordray. Mulvaney, who opposed operation of the agency under Cordray, has said the CFPB will be issuing a series of requests for information about agency operations.
The agency already has issued a request for comment on its process of issuing civil investigative demands.
