An independent agency is an agency independent of the executive branch.

Administrative agencies, except those federal agencies which are subject to
presidential supervision,remain independent of the executive branch. The
court will not require the agency to reopen its proceedings, when the agency has
taken final action on a matter that is peculiarly within its realm of expertise
except upon a clear showing of abuse of discretion or of extraordinary
circumstance.[i]
However, whether a decision made by an administrative officer at a disciplinary
hearing is final and binding upon a commissioner depends upon the intent of
the legislature in conferring their respective powers.[ii] Action of a subordinate
agency is subject to review and revision.
[i] In re Three Mile Island Alert, Inc., 771 F.2d 720 (3d Cir. 1985)
[ii] Doe v. Axelrod, 71 N.Y.2d 484 (N.Y. 1988)
