The following excerpt is from U.S. v. 594,464 Pounds of Salmon, 871 F.2d 824 (9th Cir. 1989):
Whether a regulation constitutes "law," however, depends on the structure of the particular statute. Singer v. United States, 323 U.S. 338, 345, 65 S.Ct. 282, 286, 89 L.Ed. 285 (1945). Thus, we step back to view the relevant language in the context of the statutory framework.
