Partner Ryan Lighty and associate Scott Clausen co-authored a Law360 Expert Analysis article for the publication’s “After Chevron” series looking at the impact on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine.
The article examines the Atomic Energy Act’s delegations of authority to the NRC, court decisions granting deference to the commission, and the Supreme Court’s recognition in Loper Bright that Congress may delegate specific authority to agencies—within limits—that will affect judicial review going forward.
