Rule
When Congress has not directly spoken to the precise question at issue, courts must defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous statute it administers (two-step Chevron framework). Overruled by Loper Bright (2024).
Significance
For 40 years the foundational case on judicial deference to agency statutory interpretations; overruled by Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (2024).
