706(2)(E). The Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, to which appeal of whistleblower cases lies, see sec. 7482(b)(1), has opined that “the substantial evidence test and the arbitrary or capricious test are one and the same”, Ass’n of Data Processing Serv. Orgs., Inc., 745 F.2d at 683. The substantial evidence test, in that court’s view, “is only a specific application” of the more general arbitrary and capricious standard. Id. In cases to which 5 U.S.C. sec. 706(2)(E) does not apply--that is,

§ 706, however, the standard set forth in Rule 56(c) does not apply because ofthe limited role ofa court in reviewing the administrative record.

Our scope of review of WBO determinations is generally confined to the administrative record (the so-called record rule).

In other words, we hold that we do have jurisdiction to review the Commissioner’s denial of a waiver under section 408(d)(3)(I) and that we review such a denial for abuse of discretion.

Katz’ bankruptcy estate succeeded to the partnership interests on July 5, 1990, and held beneficial ownership of such interests on December 31, 1990, all the 1990 calendar year distributive shares (which include the prepetition partnership losses) belonged to and were reportable by Mr. Katz’ bankruptcy estate under section 1398(e)(1). Respondent’s analysis is consistent with the treatment of the issue in 15 Sheinfeld et al., Collier on Bankruptcy, par.

The taxpayer in O’Dwyer sought to compel the IRS to produce its entire administrative file, based in part on language in APA section 706 directing the reviewing court to “review the whole record”.

As a corollary to these APA provisions regarding agency adjudications, apa section 706 expressly contemplates that certain types of agency actions will be subject to de novo judicial review.

The courts have 12 accordingly held that supervisory approval must be meaningful from a temporal standpoint—i.e., that it not come so late as to be a vain act. No court has ever held that section 6751(b)(1) requires a supervisor to supply—in addition to timely written approval—any particular level of substantive review. See Thompson v. Commissioner, 155 T.C. 87, 93 (2020) (rejecting argument that penalty should not apply because an acting supervisor was supposedly incapable of engaging in “mean

There is not even "a minimal level ofanalysis," as the Supreme Court,just a couple years ago, insisted an agency must show ifit hopes to avoid its regulation's being held procedurally invalid.

“[A]n irrational departure from that policy (as opposed to an avowed alteration of it) could constitute action that must be overturned as ‘arbitrary, capricious, [or] an abuse of discretion’ within the meaning of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.

Section 706 and the accompanying regulations provide rules for determining a partnership’s taxable year. See Treas.
