2.  Each set in Ryan's new car has a three-point seat belt - NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION.

3.  Carrie's radio show was suspended after she uttered a profane word on air - FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Explanation:

1. A new miracle pill claims to boost memory and cognitive skills among adults - FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION

Here, since Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the United States government's agency that is responsible for the regulation of food (both for people and animals), drugs (human and veterinary), cosmetics, medical devices (human and animal), biological products and blood derivates, it is expected that, FDA is the right agency to be involved in this situation.

2. Each set in Ryan's new car has a three-point seat belt - NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION.

Here, since the NHTSA is an agency dependent on the government of the United States, and is part of the Department of Transportation. It is expected that, NHTSA is involved any situation relating to safety performance of highway transportation.

3. Carrie's radio show was suspended after she uttered a profane word on air - FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Here, since the Federal Communications Commission is an independent state agency of the United States, under the direct responsibility of the Congress, it is expected to be involved in the regulations of any communication or media houses so as to monitor their operations.
