Government Glossary
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A notice of proposed rulemaking is an agency announcement that proposes a rule and invites public comment before a final decision.
Plain-English Meaning
In the Guide to Government, this term belongs to departments and agencies. It is useful because government pages often use short legal or procedural labels, while visitors need to know who has authority, what document or decision to look for, and where to verify the official record.
