Legal Definitions - quasi-governmental agency

A quasi-governmental agency is an organization that has some characteristics of a government agency, but is not fully controlled by the government. It may have some government funding or oversight, but also operates independently.

For example, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is a quasi-governmental agency. It is responsible for delivering mail and packages throughout the country, but it is not fully controlled by the government. It operates as a self-funded entity, but still has some government oversight.

Another example is the Federal Reserve System. It is responsible for regulating the country's monetary policy, but it is not a government agency. It is instead a quasi-public institution, with some government oversight but also some independence.

These examples illustrate how a quasi-governmental agency can have some characteristics of a government agency, but also operate independently and have its own funding and governance structure.
