What Does APA Stand For?
APA stands for Administrative Procedure Act
The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) is a United States federal law enacted in 1946 that governs the procedures by which federal administrative agencies develop and issue regulations. It establishes a framework for transparency and accountability in the rulemaking process, ensuring public participation through notice-and-comment rulemaking and providing guidelines for judicial review of agency actions. The APA aims to balance the need for effective government regulation with the rights of individuals and entities affected by administrative decisions.
