Encyclopedia > Administrative Procedures Act

The federal Administrative Procedure Act (APA) of 1946 governs the way in which administrative agencies of the United States federal government may propose and establish regulations. The APA also sets up a process of direct review for agency decisions by federal courts. The APA applies to both independent agencies and executive department agencies, and their subdivisions. U.S. Senator Pat McCarran called the APA "a bill of rights for the hundreds of thousands of Americans whose affairs are controlled or regulated" by federal government agencies. The text of the APA can be found under Title 5 of the United States Code, beginning at Section 551.

It is further found that in the public interest it is desirable for state agencies to meet the requirements imposed by the administrative procedure act.
