Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Administrative Procedures Act (APA) of 1946 established the process for creating and enforcing regulations by federal agencies. It requires agencies to provide the public with notice of proposed rulemaking and the opportunity to comment on those proposals before making them final. The other options, such as the National Industrial Recovery Act or the Sherman Antitrust Act, are not directly related to the process of public notice and comment for agency actions. The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 did establish some regulatory authority for the federal government over certain industries, but it did not address public notice and comment.
