What is the primary purpose of the Administrative Procedure Act?

To ensure consistency in the implementation of government regulation
To set standards for how administrative agencies create and implement rules
To provide certain due process protections to individuals
To eliminate all federal regulations

The correct answer is: To set standards for how administrative agencies create and implement rules

The primary purpose of the Administrative Procedure Act is to ensure consistent and fair creation and implementation of rules by administrative agencies. Option A may sound similar, but it is not specific to rules and regulations. Option C, while important, is only a part of the overall goal of the Act and does not encompass its entire purpose. Option D is completely incorrect as the Act seeks to regulate federal regulations, not eliminate them. Option B is the most accurate as it outlines the main purpose of the Administrative Procedure Act, which is to establish a framework for how administrative agencies can create and enforce rules in a fair and consistent manner.
