Agency Rules and Modifications is the process through which federal agencies develop, amend, or repeal regulations that govern various aspects of public policy. This process typically begins with an agency identifying priority issues within its legal jurisdiction, often based on public needs or legislative mandates. Agencies then draft proposed rules, which are published for public comment, allowing stakeholders to provide feedback. After reviewing these comments, the agency may revise the proposed rule before finalizing it.
