An Incorporated Administrative Agency, or in lay terms Independent Administrative Corporation or Independent Administrative Institution (独立行政法人, ''Dokuritsu gyōsei hōjin'' or ''Dokugyo'' in abbreviation), is a type of legal body for organizations of the Japanese government regulated by the ''Basic Law on Reforming Government Ministries'' under ''the Act on General Rules for incorporated Administrative Agencies''(Law No. 103 of 1999, modified in 2014).〔(''Act on General Rules for Incorporated Administrative Agencies'' (Tentative translation), Ministry of Justice (Japan) )〕 The independent agencies are not under the ''National Government Organization Act'' that provides for the ministries and agencies of Japan. Originally proposed by the Administrative Reform Council, the independent agencies are created based on the concept of separating the ministries and agencies of the government into planning functions and operation functions. Planning functions remain within government-based ministries and agencies while operating functions are transferred to the independent agencies. Incorporated Administrative Agencies utilize management methods of private-sector corporations and are given considerable autonomy in their operations and how to use their given budgets. In April 2001, the government first designated 59 bodies as the independent agencies, among which were many research institutions and some museums. == Examples of the agencies == There are 98 agencies as of 1 April 2015. * National Center for University Entrance Examinations, an agency that administers the National Center Test for University Admissions * Japan Mint, the mint of Japan * Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) * Japan National Tourist Organization (JNTO) * Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) * National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) * National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) * National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) * National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) * National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE) * National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, Tokyo National Museum (TNM) * National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, Kyoto National Museum, (KNM) * National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, Nara National Museum (NNM) * National Museum of Art, Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (MOMAT) * National Museum of Art, Tokyo National Museum of Western Art (NMWA) * National Printing Bureau * Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「independent administrative institution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
