At the high level org chart you see the FCC but not the FAA. https://www.usgovernmentmanual.gov/ReadLibraryItem.ashx?SFN=Myz95sTyO4rJRM/nhIRwSw==&SF=VHhnJrOeEAnGaa/rtk/JOg== https://www.usgovernmentmanual.gov/ReadLibraryItem.ashx?SFN=... This is because the FAA is under the United States Department of Transportation, while the FCC is an independent agency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Transportation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Tr... To see the difference goto: https://www.usa.gov/branches-of-government https://www.usa.gov/branches-of-government Executive Department Sub-Agencies and Bureaus has FAA. Independent Agencies has FCC. What is and isn’t an independent agency is complicated but the EPA, NASA, FDIC, Federal Reserve System are independent as are less critical agencies like Institute of Museum and Library Services, Peace Corps, and Railroad Retirement Board.
