7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: National Power Corporation v. Federal Aviation Administration

Case No.: 16-3770

Officials: MANION and ROVNER, Circuit Judges, and COLEMAN, District Judge.

Focus: Abuse of Discretion

National Power Corporation (“National Power”) seeks review of a Federal Aviation Ad‐ ministration Administrator’s (the “Administrator”) decision finding that National Power knowingly violated multiple hazardous material regulations (“HMRs”), and assessing a $66,000 civil penalty against it. Because the Administrator’s conclusions are supported by substantial evidence and his findings were not arbitrary and capricious or an abuse of discretion, we deny National Power’s petition for review.
