Supreme Court Overturns Chevron Case  
The Supreme Court issued a decision on June 28 to overturn Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., a 1984 court case that established the legal test for when U.S. federal courts must defer to a government agency’s interpretation of a law or statute. The decision alters a foundational principle of the law governing federal court review of decisions of federal administrative agencies, which includes FERC and FCC.
