rulemaking
Drafting official regulations
Rulemaking is the process by which government agencies create regulations.
In the United States, federal agencies must follow procedures that include public notice and comment periods before rules take effect: The EPA's rulemaking on emissions standards drew thousands of public comments.
The term appears in administrative law and policy discussions.
