Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interpretative rules issued by administrative agencies provide agency staff and the public with guidance about what a certain statute or substantive rule means in practice, and do not have the same force and effect of law as statutes passed by Congress. Rules that describe an agency's organization, method of operation, and internal practices are known as procedural rules, while rules that rephrase the language of a statute passed by Congress are known as legislative rules.
