Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. Administrative agencies are often considered as the fourth branch of the U.S. government as they have the power to make, enforce, and interpret laws and regulations, and function outside of the three traditional branches of government (legislative, executive, and judiciary). Examples of administrative agencies include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), among others.
