Ecology Ctr., Inc., No. 06-344. The question presented in that case is "[w]hether the court of appeals failed to apply the proper standard of review under the Administrative Procedure Act in evaluating whether the Forest Service had complied with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., and the National Forest Management Act of 1976, 16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq." The SG, on behalf of the federal respondents, does not oppose the petition. Let’s not forget about Mineral County, Montana v. Ecology Ctr., Inc., No. 06-344.
