Sometimes passing a law isn't enough to get results. The government can pass laws calling for, say, cleaner air or safer workplaces, but the law doesn't include every detail about how to get there. Administrative agencies – the Social Security Administration, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration – translate the law into detailed regulations, which the agencies then administer. Administrative agencies exist on the federal, state and local levels. Tip

Making rules to enact the law is a core role of administrative agencies.

Federal and state legislatures that impose new standards often don't have the time or expertise to cover every last detail.
