New Paradigm for Regulatory Policy?

On 28 June, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (Secretary of Commerce) case, which could have significant impacts on federal regulatory policy moving forward as it overruled the so-called “Chevron deference” in place for the past 40 years. At issue is regulatory agencies’ limits on interpreting Congressional and statutory intent. Specifically, the case was brought under the 1976 Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (FCMA). That statute authorizes standards for fishing off the coast of the United States. To ensure that those standards are followed, vessels may be required to carry an “observer” who monitors their fishing activity, and absorb the cos...

Illuminating the value of technical research

On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
