Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Congress is responsible for creating federal agencies and passing laws related to agriculture and biotechnology, so it would be the most effective target for lobbying efforts to create a National Biotech Agency. Federal administrative agencies may have some authority in regulating agricultural products, but they do not have the power to create new agencies. The United States Supreme Court and the president do not have the authority to create new federal agencies or change federal agricultural policy.
