What is the standard of review under 5.C. 706(2) of the Federal Maritime Commission?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Good Samaritan Hospital, Corvallis v. Mathews, 609 F.2d 949 (9th Cir. 1979):

The standard of review in 5 U.S.C. 706 frees the reviewing court of the time consuming and difficult task of weighing evidence, gives proper respect to the expertise of the administrative tribunal and helps promote uniform application of the statute. Consolo v. Federal Maritime Commission,383 U.S. 607, 620, 86 S.Ct. 1018, 16 L.Ed.2d 131 (1966). The review is not a determination of whether there is any genuine issue as to any material fact as in a ruling on a summary judgment motion, but rather whether the agency action was arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, not in accordance with law, or unsupported by substantial evidence on the record taken as a whole. 5 U.S.C. 706(2).
