SILVERMAN, Circuit Judge:
The Secretary of Commerce appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Earth Island.1 The district court held that the Secretary’s Initial Finding, triggering a change in the dolphin-safe label standard, was not in accordance with the law and constituted an abuse of discretion because the Secretary failed to (1) obtain and consider preliminary data from the eongressionally mandated stress studies and (2) apply the proper legal standard to the available scientific information. We affirm.
