Do you think the recent Arlington v. FCC decision increases this deferential standard of review, or just extends it to an agency's interpretation of its jurisdiction, and in either event, does it have any likely relevance to Bitcoin regulations?

Arlington v. FCC challenged the agency's interpretation of "a reasonable period of time as 90 to 150 days. The court held that this was reasonable.

You may want to contrast this with American Library Association v. FCC in which the DC Circuit held that the agency exceeded its authority. The law did not allow the FCC to rule on copyright and recording devices, even if it was related to broadcast TV.
