rule-making
Establishing official guidelines
Rule-making is the process of creating official rules or regulations, especially by government agencies.
Administrative rule-making translates broad legislation into specific enforceable requirements: The EPA's rule-making process for emissions standards took three years.
The term emphasizes procedure and formality—informal guidelines don't typically involve rule-making.
