A quick definition of administrative warrant:

An administrative warrant is a special permission slip that an administrative body can get from a judge to look for things that are against the rules. It's like a treasure map that helps them find out if someone is breaking the rules. They don't need as much proof as they would for a criminal warrant, but they still have to follow certain rules. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency might use an administrative warrant to check if a factory is throwing away waste in the wrong way. If they find something bad, they can take it away.

A more thorough explanation:

An administrative warrant is a legal document that allows an administrative body, like the Environmental Protection Agency, to search for violations of administrative rules and regulations. It is similar to a criminal warrant, but it requires a lower standard of probable cause to be granted.

For example, the Environmental Protection Agency may obtain an administrative warrant to investigate whether a factory is complying with waste dumping requirements. The warrant gives the administration the authority to confiscate any contraband discovered through one of these investigations.

Administrative agencies granted enforcement powers rely on the use of administrative warrants to ensure compliance with their standards. These warrants are governed by 49 USC §32707.
