The regulatory agencies are completing two decades of birth in Brazil. They were assigned to play an important role within our society to the extent that the services provided by the state were gradually reduced. Before the reduction of the effective state participation in various sectors of society, the private sector fell to the mister encompass the productive practice areas previously exploited by the state. The state in turn to withdraw their role in activities both in the economic sphere and the social sphere, attributed to regulatory agencies the role of supervision and regulation of activities that from that moment would be provided by private entities. The agencies then received various privileges so that they could exercise their designs more successful way. Among the received powers was the ability for the dispatch of technical standards in the area of services provided by private entities. Such capacity given them out because of their notorious specialty within each sector to be regulated. However, the normative activity of the regulatory agencies has become very questionable. Similarly, there was discussion about the possibility of control of the merit of these acts by the judiciary power without it affecting the constitutional principle of separation of powers. To examine this subject, decisions of the Superior Courts in Brazil and the Supreme Court of the United States were research, due to the influence that North American agencies exerted on Brazilian regulatory agencies.
