Proposing.
During the "proposing" step of the rule-making process, regulatory agencies draft and publish the proposed regulations. This is done to make the content of the regulations transparent and accessible to the public. Providing this information allows stakeholders, individuals, and organizations to review and comment on the proposed regulations. Public input is often considered in the decision-making process, contributing to a more inclusive and informed regulatory framework. This step promotes accountability, openness, and public participation in the development of regulations.
