Administrative agencies generally have fairly extensive authority, but must abide by the provisions of the U.S. Constitution, any limitations set forth in state statutes, and the provisions of the federal statute known as the Administrative Procedure Act, enacted in 1946.
Administrative law addresses most interactions between the federal government and private citizens, as well as businesses. Examples of agencies governed by administrative law include the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Internal Revenue Service. Administrative law also covers immigration, broadcasting, international trade and government contracts.
