Abstract

The article discusses the impact of the Supreme Court's decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo on administrative law, particularly regarding the regulation of railroads. It highlights how the ruling overturned Chevron deference, which had previously allowed federal agencies, like the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Surface Transportation Board, to interpret statutes with judicial deference. Following this decision, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a rule from the Surface Transportation Board that aimed to streamline the process for challenging railroad rates, indicating a shift towards limiting agency authority without new legislative approval. The article suggests that future attempts by agencies to adopt new interpretations of existing statutes will likely face increased scrutiny and challenges from various stakeholders in the railroad industry.
