List of federal agencies in the United States
Information
This is a list of agencies of the United States federal government .
Legislative definitions of a federal
agency are varied, and even contradictory, and the official
United States Government Manual offers no definition. While the
Administrative Procedure Act definition of "agency" applies to most
executive branch agencies, Congress may define an agency however it chooses in enabling legislation, and subsequent litigation, often involving the
Freedom of Information Act and the
Government in the Sunshine Act . These further cloud attempts to enumerate a list of agencies.
The executive branch of
the federal government includes the
Executive Office of the President and the
United States federal executive departments (whose secretaries belong to the
Cabinet ). Employees of the majority of these agencies are considered
civil servants .
The majority of the
independent agencies of the United States government are also classified as executive agencies (they are independent in that they are not subordinated under a Cabinet position). There are a small number of independent agencies that are not considered part of the executive branch, such as the
Library of Congress and
Congressional Budget Office , which are administered directly by
Congress and thus are
legislative branch agencies. The status of these agencies is an open question, however, as Judge
Brett Kavanaugh noted in a brief concurrence in SoundExchange, Inc. v. Librarian of Congress . There is one independent agency in the
judicial branch , the
United States Sentencing Commission .
