Actually, I'm pretty sure the Fed is a privately-owned company, with preferred shareholders and everything. That's not to say the government isn't hugely influential on what it does, but that it's a completely separate entity.
Of course, I could be completely wrong. I'd actually be interested if someone had proof for either argument.

You don't need to guess or assume, just do a few simple searches. edit: Well, not all of it, but the structure of the Fed isn't exactly a national secret.
