Informal rulemaking

Informal rulemaking is a process used by government agencies to create regulations without the formal procedures required for more significant rules. Agencies draft proposed rules and publish them for public comment, allowing individuals and organizations to provide input. After reviewing the feedback, the agency may revise the rule before finalizing it. This process is generally quicker and less rigid than formal rulemaking, enabling agencies to respond efficiently to public needs and changes in circumstances while still ensuring a degree of transparency and accountability.
