Glycine & More, Inc. v. United States

Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

Decided January 23, 2018No. 2017-1312PublishedCited by 11 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Plager, Circuit Judge.

This case turns on an important principle in administrative law, involving a basic tenet of the Administrative Procedure Act (hereafter “APA”), to which the defendant agency, the Department of Commerce, is subject. See generally 5 U.S.C. §§ 551 et seq. The question presented is—can an agency regulation, previously adopted by formal notice-and-comment rulemaking procedure pursuant to the APA, be amended by a guidance document that is not so enacted? The case comes to us on appeal from a decision of the United States Court of International Trade (“CIT”).
