MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from State of Alaska v. Lyng, 797 F.2d 1479 (9th Cir. 1986):
To affirm, we need not conclude that the agency's construction was the only one it could have adopted, or even the one the court would have reached. Alcaraz v. Block, 746 F.2d 593, 606 (9th Cir.1984). Deference requires affirmance of any interpretation within the range of reasonable meanings the words permit, comporting with the statute's clear purpose. Id.
