Administrative and Regulatory Agencies draw authority from Congress. Congress delegates authority to these agencies through authority statutes or enabling statutes. Congress relies on these agencies to administer, interpret, enforce, and regulate federal laws.
Each agency has a unique structure.
Examples of Agencies include:
While these agencies have the authority to define, interpret, and enforce rules and regulations, they are governed by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). These agencies are required to act within Constitutional and statutory limitations. The APA established the requirements, procedures, standards, and procedures for agency rulemaking, hearings, and adjudication.
