Question presented
Whether a federal agency, upon remand based upon an appellate finding that the agency’s outcome is insufficiently supported, complies with the Administrative Procedure Act if it fails to develop a record based on substantial evidence to support an opposite outcome on remand. Whether a pipeline’s rates set pursuant to the Interstate Commerce Act are just and reasonable and compliant with Fed. Power Comm’n v. Hope Natural Gas Co., 320 U.S. 591, 603 (1944) when a necessary component of the pipeline’s cost-of-service rates is removed without justification.
