Two reasons why congress gives federal agencies policy making disretion in execiting federal laws?

Answer 1

Supposedly because the people serving in the agencies are experts in the field they are supervising. Congress does not have the time or expertise to micro-manage national parks, aviation, the auto industry, food and drugs, banking, insurance, etc, etc.

Answer 2

One reason is federal agencies, like FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) has more expertise, more resources, and enforcement of commercial transportation through the DOT (Dept of Transportation) to regulate trucking.

Another reason these departments and agencies are generally in place to regulate and enforce over longer time periods. Congress (House) can change legislatures every two years. FAA, HUD, DEA, etc., are not subject to turn over every few years. Therefore can continue policies, rules, regulation, enforcement, without interruption.
