Rule

An agency acts unreasonably under the APA when it entirely ignores costs in deciding whether regulation is “appropriate and necessary,” even if costs are considered later in setting the standard.

Significance

Required agencies to consider costs at the threshold decision to regulate, not just in standard-setting; applied arbitrary-and-capricious review to EPA’s cost-ignoring decision.
