機關的設立、調整或裁撤，必須依規定程序提案並報請核定。

一級機關應定期辦理組織評鑑。

上級機關可以依法規對所屬機關行使指揮監督權；對不相隸屬機關的指揮監督，只有法律或法規明文規定時才可以。

二級機關及三級機關在其法定權限和職掌範圍內，因管轄區域及基層服務需要，可以設地方分支機關。

機關在其組織法規授權範圍內，可以設置附屬的實（試）驗、檢驗、研究、文教、醫療、社福、矯正、收容、訓練等機構。

機關首長負責統籌本機關事務、對外代表本機關，並指揮監督所屬機關及人員。

Agency heads generally must be full-time, but special-nature agencies may have different rules and may set their head’s title separately.

This provision sets how many deputy heads different levels of agencies may have, and how their posts are classified.

This article says the Act applies to the Executive Yuan and its subordinate agencies, except where special laws for listed organizations provide otherwise.

一級機關要設幕僚長（秘書長）；二級以下機關可視需要設主任秘書或秘書；一級機關也可視需要設副幕僚長一至三人，其中至少一人須是常任職務。

獨立機關合議制成員的任期、任命、停職與免職程序都要明定；部分專任成員需先經立法院同意才可任命，且一級機關首長任命時要指定首長與副首長。

機關內部單位應依相關原則設立或調整。

This provision defines two types of internal units: business units and support units.

Government internal units must generally name themselves according to their duties, except units with a specific-area scope may use a regional name.

機關可以按規定為內部單位分級命名，並可因性質與業務需要彈性調整設立方式。

輔助單位可依機關規模、性質與層級設立；必要時，業務可以合併在同一單位辦理。

A first-, second-, and third-level agency may establish units that handle investigation, review, and appeals, as permitted by law.

機關得因業務需要設任務編組；所需人員應由相關機關人員派充或兼任。

行政院應依列舉原則分配各部主管事務，且各部總數不得超過十五個。

This article defines four terms: agency, independent agency, organization, and unit.

This provision sets organizational size standards: business units should have 6 to 8 divisions, each division should have 4 to 8 sections, and the total number of divisions in the preceding item is capped at 112.

行政院在基於政策統合需要時，可以設委員會；委員會的組織規模有原則標準，且總數以九個為限。

This provision sets organizational size standards for certain independent agencies.

二級機關在需要處理技術性或專門性業務時，可以設置附屬的署、局；相當二級機關的獨立機關也可以設置附屬機關。

行政院及各級機關的輔助單位，最多不得超過六個處、室；每個單位原則上以三科到六科為準。

行政院須在本法公布後3個月內檢討並調整相關組織法規，送立法院審議；對不符合本法的其他機關組織法規，也須限期修正並在指定期限內送審。

First-level agencies may establish temporary or transitional agencies for major urgent, special, or emerging matters, and second- and third-level agencies may do so only after approval by a first-level agency.

This provision says public-law administrative bodies may be established outside the state and local self-governing bodies to carry out specific public affairs.

本法適用於行政院以外的中央政府機關。

本法自公布日施行；但特定修正條文的施行日期由行政院決定。

部分機關的組織要用法律規定；其他機關的組織可以用命令規定。

This provision names the types of organizational rules for agencies and says agencies’ organization may not be set by other substantive laws or regulations.

This provision assigns standard names to administrative agencies by level, and allows an agency to use a different name if its nature is special.

機關組織法規的內容必須包含指定事項。

機關組織的內部單位分工職掌，依其是以法律或命令設立，分別用處務規程或辦事細則定之；各機關也可以在授權範圍內訂定分層負責明細表。
