Rulemaking

Agencies adopt rules to implement, interpret, and prescribe law and policy and to describe their organization, procedure, and practice requirements. The Administrative Procedure Act specifies basic procedures that agencies generally must follow when they make rules. Other authorities specify additional procedures, including the Congressional Review Act, the E-Government Act, and rulemaking requirements from the Executive Office of the President.

ACUS has adopted dozens of recommendations and produced many other resources to help agencies manage rulemaking. Select a category below to access individual recommendations, reports, and other resources:
