Document Summary
Enabling law: a statute passed by congress or a state legislature, which creates an administrative agency, or which gives specific powers to an agency. Delegation of powers: congress transfers part of its legislative power to an administrative agency, by giving it the power to enact rules and regulations to implement a statute. Executive branch agencies: federal agencies which are part of the executive branch of the government, under the control of the president. Independent regulatory commissions: agencies established by congress, which act independently of congress and the president to some degree. Formal rulemaking: an agency develops and issues regulations after holding at least one public hearing. Informal rulemaking: an agency develops a proposed federal regulation and then publishes it in the federal register, so interested persons may offer comments before the regulation is final. Promulgating: the correct process for developing and issuing a regulation.
