Stagg PLLC invites you to attend a complimentary webinar on Chevron Deference Eliminated: Implications for Export Controls.

On June 28, the U.S. Supreme Court ended a bedrock 40-year-old rule called Chevron deference. That rule generally required courts to defer to a federal agency’s permissible interpretation of an ambiguous statute that the agency administers, even if the judiciary recognized that the challenger’s interpretation was better than the agency’s. Eliminating that deference is anticipated to afford regulated parties in many industries greater ability to prevail over questionable agency interpretations going forward.

But how will eliminating Chevron deference impact regulated parties under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and Export Control Reform Act (ECRA), two statutes that concern national security and foreign policy matters?

Christopher Stagg will share his perspectives on these questions based on his unique experience writing export control laws and with the rare distinction of successfully litigating export control interpretations against the government.

The presentation will discuss:

– The Chevron decision and the decision overturning it

– The broader impact of the decision

– The decision’s specific impact on export control laws, including litigation and advocacy before the regulatory agencies
