Explain the significant of a broad, congressional mandate

The United States Congress makes a finding that the level of carbon monoxide in the air is hazardous to human health. Congress creates the Air Quality Agency (AQA) to monitor and control air quality in the United States. Congress funds the agency. Scientific findings, measurement details, and control mechanisms are not included in the legislation. The AQA, under congressional authority, begins to set standards for air quality and to impose controls in the form of economic fines for non compliance. The AQA plans next year to require a license to emit any sort of air pollutant. * Discuss whether the AQA actions are a source of administrative law. * Explain the significant of a broad, congressional mandate. * Does the AQA have unchecked power? * What options might one consider in challenging the legality of a particular activity of the AQA?
