Administrative Rules and Regulations

Congress often passes laws which require an entity to carry out programs and create guidelines for compliance with and enforcement of the laws enacted. Administrative agencies execute those functions. Some representative federal administrative agencies are the Internal Revenue Service, Federal Communications Commission, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
