What are the different of independent agencies to miniples agencies?

Independent agencies are organizations that operate outside of the executive branch of government and have a specific mandate to regulate or oversee certain functions, such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In contrast, municipal agencies are local government entities that manage services and regulations within a specific city or town, such as public safety, housing, and local infrastructure. While independent agencies often have broader national authority, municipal agencies focus on local governance and community needs.
