A recent Supreme Court decision, Loper Bright, essentially did away with a decades old doctrine known as Chevron, which instructed courts to defer to agencies’ interpretations of their statutory authority. Loper Bright and related decisions this past term could have major implications for a range of federal agencies, especially for those agencies responsible for protecting public health and the environment.

A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a workshop to explore these implications for agencies, Congress, the public, and the federal scientific and technical workforce.
