Public Participation in Administrative Rulemaking

Public participation in administrative rulemaking is the process through which individuals and groups can engage in the creation of government regulations. This typically involves public hearings, comment periods, and outreach efforts, allowing citizens to express their views, share insights, and influence decisions that affect their lives. By incorporating diverse perspectives, agencies aim to ensure that regulations are fair, effective, and reflective of the community's needs. This process promotes transparency and accountability in governance, fostering trust between the public and regulatory bodies.
