United States Ninth Circuit
Organized Village of Kake v. USDA, 11-35517
The district court's order, which invalidated a 2003 United States Department of Agriculture regulation temporarily exempting the Tongass National Forest in Alaska from application of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, so as to allow roads to be built through the forest, is reversed and remanded, where the grounds asserted by the Department of Agriculture and its reasoning in reaching its decision were neither arbitrary nor capricious.
