"To find out how big the federal government is, the federal government itself is no place to get any conclusive answer, with the count on existing federal agencies listed as low as 60 or more than 400.
Office of Personnel Management spokeswoman Lindsay Haake referred TheBlaze to USA.gov, which lists 389 separate agencies.
She also referred to the website, BestPlacesToWork.org also lists a total of 389.
Haake said number came from the Federal Employment Viewpoint Survey.
However, that’s not the source that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) used at a hearing on June 10 on the federal regulatory system.
“The Federal Register indicates there are over 430 departments, agencies, and sub-agencies in the federal government,” Grassley said.
“And the pronouncements of this ever-expanding administrative state impact nearly every aspect of Americans’ daily lives.”
