The following excerpt is from Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc. v. U.S. Dep't of Transp., 770 F.3d 1260 (9th Cir. 2014):
Under the Administrative Procedure Act, we must hold unlawful and set aside agency action, findings, and conclusions found to be ... arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law. 5 U.S.C. 706(2)(A). Review under the arbitrary and capricious standard is narrow, and we do not substitute our judgment for that of the agency. Barnes v. U.S. Dep't of Transp., 655 F.3d 1124, 1132 (9th Cir.2011).
