RI Herring Fishermen Support SCOTUS Review of At-Sea Monitor Rule; Cert. Granted In Suit Against IRS

Rhode Island Herring Fishermen Support Supreme Court Review of At-Sea Monitor Rule

Relentless Inc., Huntress Inc., and Seafreeze Fleet LLC, corporations operating in the herring fishery off the coast of New England, have filed an amicus curiae brief in support of Loper Bright Enterprises’ petition for a writ of certiorari. These Rhode Island small businesses urge the Supreme Court to review this case to (1) address the circuit split in how agency actions under the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA) are granted Chevron deference, and (2) halt a regulation that allows the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to unlawfully charge fisherman for a government function Congress does not believe is worth spending Americans’ tax dollars on. NCLA represents amici in Relentless Inc. et al. v. U.S. Dept. of Commerce et al., now pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
