| Question presented | Department of the Air Force, et al., Petitioners v. Prutehi Guahan, fka Prutehi Litekyan1. Whether the federal government's submission to a state or territorial regulator of an application to renew a RCRA permit is "final agency action" that is immediately reviewable under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 704. 2. Whether the federal government must comply with the general environmental-review procedures of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., before submitting a permit-renewal application under RCRA, which sets forth its own specific procedures to review environmental impacts in the context of hazardous-waste treatment. | Department of Labor, et al., Petitioners v. Sun Valley Orchards, LLC1. Whether Article III of the Constitution precludes the Department of Labor from adjudicating proceedings to collect monetary remedies from employers who have allegedly violated the terms and conditions of employment of H-2A workers and domestic workers in corresponding employment? 2. Whether 8 U. S. C. §1188(g)(2) authorizes the Department of Labor to adjudicate proceedings to collect monetary remedies from employers who have allegedly violated the terms and conditions of employment of H-2A workers and domestic workers in corresponding employment? |
| Summary | Department of the Air Force, et al., Petitioners v. Prutehi Guahan, fka Prutehi LitekyanThe Court will decide whether the Air Force’s application to Guam to renew a hazardous-waste permit for operations at Andersen Air Force Base can be immediately challenged in court, and whether the Air Force had to complete a broader environmental review before filing the application. The dispute concerns how the Administrative Procedure Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the hazardous-waste permitting system under RCRA apply to the federal government. | Department of Labor, et al., Petitioners v. Sun Valley Orchards, LLCThis case concerns whether the Department of Labor may use its own administrative process to impose monetary remedies on an H-2A agricultural employer alleged to have violated required working and living conditions for visa and corresponding U.S. workers. The Court will consider both the agency’s statutory authority and whether Article III requires these claims to be decided first by a federal court. |
