U.S. Government Acronyms

The US Government loves acronyms for its departments, agencies, and programs. How many do you know?
"US" is only added when it is included in the common acronym or when it helps to differentiate between agencies. It is not required to type in the answer.
Words like "Agency," "Administration," "Bureau," "Commission," "Department,", "Office," "Service," "Federal," and "National" may be omitted
