Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Did the Federal Circuit err in holding that the
Secretary's "final agency action" which determined that
imports of steel "threaten to impair the national security"
is not subject to arbitrary and capricious review as
prescribed by the APA?

2. Did the Federal Circuit correctly interpret the
explicit Congressional requirement of Section 232 that
the Secretary must find that imports "threaten to impair"
national security?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the Federal Circuit err in holding that the Secretary's 'final agency action' which determined that imports of steel 'threaten to impair the national security' is not subject to arbitrary and capricious review as prescribed by the APA?
