Huge List of Government Agencies

Huge List of Government Agencies

This compilation is a list of government agencies, offices, commissions, bureaus, foundations, divisions, directorates, departments, bureaus, institutes, administrations and "services", many of them redundant, overlapping or unnecessary. When I first started building this list, I thought it would be much shorter than this. As I look into it more and more, the sheer size of our government has become tragically humorous. After exploring the structure and organization of one department after another, there seems to be no end in sight.

Most of these entities perform functions that should (according to the U.S. Constitution) be left up to state or local governments, or to private industry, churches or charities. Several of these agencies perform functions which overlap corresponding agencies at the state level. There is no constitutional authority for the creation and maintenance of most of the offices in the list below. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to matter any more. The limitations of government spelled out in the Constitution are no longer under consideration, either in Congress or in our public schools. The few of us who still care are called extremists!

One obvious trait seen in this list is the number of offices and agencies dedicated to career advancement for certain people based on their gender or ethnicity. Every facet of the government seems to include an office for the promotion of workplace diversity, equal employment opportunity, minority resources, civil rights, or disadvantaged business utilization. You may notice that in some cases a single office is in charge of equal employment opportunity and workplace diversity, even though it is logically impossible to implement diversity without discrimination. But the topic of workplace diversity, politically correct discrimination and better-than-equal opportunity is covered on another page.

Similarly, many of the larger agencies have their own offices for safety issues, environmental concerns and education, probably overlapping the functions of other federal agencies. The two agencies with the most unexpectedly complex structures are the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture. I may never exhaust all the hallways and sidetracks in their organizational labyrinths.

Anyway this is by no means a complete or exhaustive list, nor is it necessarily shown in alphabetical order. The various branches of the military have numerous subdivisions, which would take weeks to categorize, and there are probably many agencies — especially in the Department of Defense — which are not openly discussed on the internet. One Defense Department web site has 25 pages of links to various departments. Intelligence agencies are beyond public scrutiny (and thus can never be completely listed here) as are certain other agencies like FEMA. That's why the CIA occupies only a single line on this page.

Updated 6/7/2006:
I just spent a few days exploring the organizational charts at the FAA, and was able to find hundreds of people high enough in the organization to have an office or a title. The Department of Transportation seems to occupy a large portion of this page, but that may just be because that's where I've been able to get the most information.

Updated 6/9/2006:
I have just added over 200 lines to this page to include the details of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

Updated 8/20/2006:
While I have made an effort to include the Chiefs and omit the Indians, keep in mind that the average compensation for federal civilian workers last year was $106,579.* Not everyone on this list makes that kind of money, but most of the people on this list have above average incomes.

Updated 10/04/2006:
After spending a few hours exploring the structure of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, I have added about 240 lines to this list. And it seems that I have only scratched the surface of the Grain Inspection, Packers, and Stockyards Administration. It continues to amaze me that the federal government has so many layers of departments and bureaus, many of which seem to be only marginally necessary at best. This page may have to be split into smaller pieces if the list gets much longer.

This list is provided as a service to those of you who wonder why taxes are so high, and I hope that includes most of the people who vote. Personally, I'd rather have a little extra money in my paycheck every week, and I think we could all get along just fine without the African Development Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, etc.

In fact, if I could take home my gross pay, with no "contributions" extracted by the government, I could find a way to get by without Social Security, Medicare, and almost all the cabinet-level departments on this list. There's a lot to be said for self-reliance.

Added 9/24/2006:
The Budget Graph shows the relative size of various government departments (in dollars) as well as some of their largest projects.

Updated 3/14/2008:
By exploring the structure of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards), I have expanded this list by 598 entries. While I was at it, I corrected a few dozen typographical errors and misspelled words.

Updated 4/27/2008:
I added another 24 lines to this page by exploring the National Transit Institute. Who knows how much that costs, or what it accomplishes.

Updated 5/12/2008:
In most cases the internet makes it possible to explore the structure of a government agency or cabinet-level department. Once in a while I find a government entity that is completely opaque. For example, the Information Sharing Environment. As far as I can tell, their web site gives no information about where they fit in a list like this one, or how many people work there. Who knows where their offices are, or exactly what these people do? Maybe it isn't an agency at all; I don't know. Something tells me I would be put on the no-fly list if I start asking questions about it.

Updated 9/5/2008:
I have just recently discovered the the Administration for Children and Families, which includes, among many other things, the Head Start program, which cost the taxpayers $6,441,044,000 in FY 2003. I have only just begun to explore this agency, and because there are so many layers of bureaucracy in the Department of Health and Human Services, it may take a while to list all of its components. One part of this agency administers the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), at a cost (according to their web site) of only "$14.9" in fiscal year 2007. It would be nice if the cost was less than fifteen dollars, but they probably mean $14.9 million. I hope it's not $14.9 billion-with-a-B -- one report says HAVA made available $2.6 billion to spend on voting machines.

Please note that this page just lists the many avenues of our government's organizational labyrinth without much information about how much money each of these offices spends. The total federal budget is about $3.1 trillion dollars.

* An asterisk at the end of a line denotes agencies with large organizational charts, not itemized below. For example, the National Nuclear Security Administration has an organization chart that is 54 pages long. Links to those organizational charts are listed at the bottom of the page.
