"Rulemaking" is the term used when a government agency creates,
modifies, or deletes rules in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Rules are
government agency statements (or parts of government agency statements) that either:
- Implement, explain or prescribe law or policy, or
- Describe an agency's organization, procedure, or practice
requirements.
