These agencies need to be made more independent and safe guards need to be put in to avoid political and other influences on them.

you're letting your hatred of republicans/conservatives show again. Care to take a guess as to why these agencies are under executive authority? Because congress put them there. Not only that, but most legislation that created these agencies, also empowered said agencies to regulate themselves. YOUR congressional representatives made these agencies super independent to the point that they can make their own rules on just about anything they have the authority to regulate. They only fall under the executive because congress has no power to enforce the law, only the executive does.
