and government employees how to interpret/carry out an existing law - and that often includes directing the drafting of new or revision/repeal of existing regulations/guidance as needed for both internal and public use.

They wasn't supposed to be used as a way to loophole around a law or create a new "law". Unfortunately by a law's very nature, they often need to be drafted with "broad" language, with delegation given to the affected departments for "filling in the details", otherwise laws would be tens of thousands of pages long each.
