Various Types of Administrative Agencies:

credit bureau (1874) An organization that compiles information on people’s creditworthiness and publishes it in the form of reports that are used chiefly by merchants and service-providers who deal directly with customers.  *  The practices of credit bureaus are regulated by federal (and often state) law.  Most bureaus are members of the Associated Credit Bureaus of America. — aka commercial agency; mercantile agency.  Cf. CREDIT-REPORTING BUREAU.

federal agency (1859) A department or other instrumentality of the executive branch of the federal government, including a government corporation an the Government Printing Office.  *  The Administrative Procedure Act defines the term agency negatively as being any US. governmental authority that does not include Congress, the courts, the government of the District of Columbia, the government of any territory or possession, courts-martial, or military authority. 5 USCA § 551.  The caselaw on this definition focuses on authority: generally, an entity is an agency if it has authority to take binding action.  Other federal statutes define agency to include any executive department, government corporation, government-controlled corporation, or other establishment in the executive branch, or federal regulatory board.

independent agency (1902) A federal agency, commission, or board that is not under the direction of the executive, such as the Federal Trade Commission or the National Labor Relations Board. Also termed independent regulatory agency; independent regulatory commission.

administrative law – (1896) 1. The law governing the organization and operation of administrative agencies (including executive and independent agencies) and the relations of administrative agencies with the legislature, the executive, the judiciary, and the public.  *  Administrative law is divided into three parts: (1) the statutes endowing agencies with powers and establishing rules of substantive law relating to those powers; (2) the body ofagency-made law, consisting of administrative rules, regulations, reports, or Opinions containing findings of fact, and orders; and (3) the legal principles governing the acts of public agents when those acts conflict with private rights. [1]

1. The law that controls, or is intended to control, the administrative operations of government. 1 Am J2d Adm L § 1. [2]

1. The body of law that controls the way in which administrative agencies operate.

2. Regulations issued by administrative agencies. [3]

     “Administrative law deals with the field of legal control exercised by law-administering agencies other than courts, and the field of control exercised by courts over such agencies.” Felix Frankfurter, The Task of Administrative Law, 75 U. Pa. L. Rev. 614, 615 (1927).

     “[A]dministrative law is to labor law, securities regulation, and tax what civil procedure is to contracts, torts, and commercial law. Administrative law studies the way government institutions do things. It is therefore the procedural component to any practice that affects or is affected by government decisionmakers other than just the courts. Its study goes beyond traditional questions; it explores a variety of procedures and it develops ideas about decisionmaking and decisionmakers.” 1 Charles H. Koch, Administrative Law and Practice § 1.2, at 2 (2d ed. 1997).
