Specialized Authorities are organizations or agencies that focus on specific areas of expertise or regulation. They are responsible for overseeing and enforcing laws, standards, and practices within their designated fields. Examples include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for food safety and pharmaceuticals, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for environmental protection. These authorities often provide guidance, conduct research, and ensure compliance with regulations to protect public health and safety. They may also issue licenses, certifications, or permits, and can impose penalties for violations. Their specialized knowledge helps maintain standards and promote best practices in their respective domains.
