OPINION OF THE COURT
ROTH, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal, we must evaluate the Secretary of Labor’s interpretation of the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (“LLRW Act”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2021b-2021j, under the standard set forth in Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 104 S.Ct. 2778, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984). We hold that the Secretary’s interpretation was a permissible reading of an ambiguous statute and is properly accorded deference. We will therefore reverse the district court’s decision and enter judgment for the Secretary.
