independent regulatory commissions
Independent agencies are those that are not under direct authority of the President of the United States. Regulatory commissions were established by congress. However, they are both government entities.
Independent Regulatory CommissionsRegulatory Commissions have a special place in the federal bureaucracy. They are independent of the three branches of government. The President appoints the members with Senate approval. Unlike other bureaucrats, these agencies do not report to the executive branch and the President cannot fire them. Members of the commissions serve for a fixed term. The independent regulatory commissions were created to make rules for large businesses that effect the interest of the public. Not only do they regulate the conduct of these industries but they have the power to determine who will receive licenses to operate. They also have the power to investigate these businesses they regulate. Examples of Independent Regulatory Commissions are the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Reserve Board. MrV
