How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the agency did not need to produce the administrative record because the case could be resolved based on “nothing more than the statute and its legislative history”
• finding text ambiguous but resolving case at Chevron step one on account of “pellucid” legislative history
• affirming Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal of complaint where district could resolve APA challenge “with nothing more than the statute and its legislative history”
• no administrative record was required because the Circuit found no “challenge to the Administration’s rule-making process” and no challenge to a rule’s application that did not “depend entirely” on the argument that the rule violated the statute
• “Only if we find the statute either silent or ambiguous with respect to ‘the precise question at issue’ do we proceed to Chevron’s second step, asking ‘whether the agency’s answer is based on a permissible construction of the statute.’ ”
