Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interpretative rules issued by administrative agencies are not judicial statutes, do not merely describe an agency's internal practices, and do more than just rephrase the language of statutes. They provide guidance on how the agency interprets and intends to apply the laws and regulations it enforces, but they do not have the same force of law as statutes passed by Congress.
