An important characteristic of all independent executive agencies is that they operate independently of the executive branch of government, specifically the president. This autonomy allows them to function without direct political pressure, enabling them to make decisions based on expertise and regulatory needs rather than political considerations. They are typically created by Congress to address specific issues and are often funded through congressional appropriations. Examples include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Independent agencies are given their name because they are not part of the Cabinet. They are agencies which are independent from the cabinet. Some examples may be executive agencies, government corporations, and regulatory commissions.

Independent executive agencies operate independently of the presidential cabinet and are not directly controlled by a cabinet member. They are established by Congress to address specific issues and often have regulatory or administrative responsibilities, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In contrast, cabinet executive agencies are part of the presidential cabinet and are headed by members of the president's cabinet, focusing on broader governmental functions and policies. This structure allows independent agencies to function with a degree of autonomy from political pressures.
An executive agency is a part of the government that carries out programs and operations not performed by the legislature or judiciary. In the US, these agencies of the executive branch are under the authority of the President, and almost all are part of a cabinet department.
