Despite this fact various levels of regulation exist at various levels of government in order to address the needs of the overall system. In addition to governmental agencies, some nongovernmental entities have produced standards that have been adopted by many jurisdictions (federal and state), making them de facto parts of the regulatory structure, despite their lack of regulatory authority.
