Government Glossary

Administrative Agency

Administrative Agency is a federal department, agency, office, or public institution connected to the administration of federal law, services, records, or policy.

Plain-English Meaning

In the Guide to Government, this term belongs to executive branch powers and process. It is useful because government pages often use short legal or procedural labels, while visitors need to know who has authority, what document or decision to look for, and where to verify the official record.
