In what year was the Administrative Procedure Act enacted?

• A. 1946.
• B. 1933.
• C. 1958.
• D. 1974.

Answer: (A)

The Administrative Procedure Act was enacted in 1946. This law set the framework for how federal agencies create and issue regulations, requiring agencies to publish proposed rules and invite public comment, and to follow fair procedures in adjudications, with avenues for judicial review of agency actions. The date reflects its postwar effort to standardize and bring transparency to administrative procedures. The other years refer to different laws or periods and are not the enactment of the APA.
