It may not be too farfetched to say that behind every piece of legislation – national, state, or local – is a government agency charged with the responsibility of monitoring and ensuring compliance with its mandates. You know these agencies best by their acronyms: FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), and FDA (Food and Drug Administration), among many others.”
