A quick definition of public agency:

A public agency is a group of people who work for the government to help make decisions and take actions on behalf of the government. They have a special relationship with the government, where they can act on behalf of the government and make decisions that affect the public. There are different types of agencies, like ones that help with education, health, and safety. Sometimes, people might not even know that they are working with a public agency because they might just think they are working with a regular company or organization.

A more thorough explanation:

A public agency is a type of agency that is created by the government to provide services to the public. It is a fiduciary relationship where the agency acts on behalf of the government and is responsible for carrying out its duties and responsibilities.

For example, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a public agency that is responsible for protecting the environment and public health. The EPA is authorized by Congress to enforce environmental laws and regulations, conduct research, and provide technical assistance to states and local governments.

Another example of a public agency is the Department of Transportation (DOT), which is responsible for regulating transportation in the United States. The DOT oversees the safety of highways, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure, as well as the safety of vehicles and drivers.

These examples illustrate how public agencies are created to serve the public interest and carry out important functions on behalf of the government.
