The federal rulemaking process starts with the agency publishing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register to solicit public comments, which the agency must review and address. The agency then issues the final rule, effective 30 days later, followed by potential judicial review by courts for APA compliance without extra procedures.
