Abstract

The article is devoted to the establishment of the legal nature of departmental regulations. The main parameters and scope of rule-making competence of federal executive bodies are examined. Because of the heterogeneity of departmental normative acts, there is a need to develop a general multistage classification of departmental regulations, the creation of which will also help determine their legal nature. Based on the analysis, a conclusion was made on the need for legislative regulation of the rule-making competence of federal executive bodies, as well as the procedure for implementing a departmental norm-setting process in the Russian Federation. The question is debated whether the departmental normative acts are sources of law. It is concluded that departmental regulations perform the same functions as all other normative legal acts, that is, they create norms of law, modify and supplement existing norms, and in some cases cancel them. Consequently, these acts are sources (forms) of law. The problem of the place, which departmental normative acts occupy in the system of subordinate normative acts, is being discussed. In conclusion, the author comes to the inference that departmental regulations possess all the features of by-laws. It is noted that departmental regulations act as acts of developing norm-setting, since they carry out the functions of detailing and concretizing laws, acts of the President and the Government.
