The United States Congress has the authority to delegate lawmaking powers to executive branch agencies. The Administrative Procedure Act, chapter 324, 80 STAT. 237 (1946), and its amending acts are the guiding legislation for our system of administrative law. It provides a structure for the current practice of administrative law. Congress empowers executive agencies to promulgate rules and regulations. It grants adjudicative powers to selected agencies. Administrative Law focuses on the parameters set by Congress and the governing relationships with agencies. They must act within the scope of their powers as delegated by Congress. When agencies exceed their authority, they can be sued in federal court. They may also be sued when they seek to avoid their statutory obligations.
