Alaska Community Action on Toxics, Alaska Survival, and Cook Inletkeeper, Appellants/cross-Appellees v. Lawrence…

Summary

The court dismissed as moot the direct challenges to an expired herbicide permit because rescission would have no practical effect and the public-interest exception did not apply after regulatory changes made the same dispute unlikely to recur. It affirmed the agency's assessment of administrative-record costs, concluding that the agency acted within its discretion and that the constitutional challenges were either waived or inadequately briefed. The attorney-fee cross-appeals were treated as withdrawn by agreement.
