- W341517584 abstract "In this Article, Professor Weiser argues that advent of cooperative federalism statutes, like Telecommunications of 1996, calls for a new conception of federal court review of state agency decisions. In particular, Professor Weiser suggests that federal statutes that invite state agencies to interpret federal law subject only to federal court review should be interpreted as calling for a deferential standard of review. Such a standard, to be sure, would allow cooperative federalism statutes to mean different things in different states. But as Professor Weiser illustrates with reference to Telecommunications Act, very nature of cooperative federalism statutes encourages states to implement and experiment with alternative regulatory models to meet local needs and desires. Moreover, underlying rationales of Chevron doctrine-which require a deferential standard of review of federal agency decisions-clearly militate in favor of deference to state agencies as well as federal ones. Nonetheless, highighting need to preserve uniform application of federal law, federal courts have concluded in theory that they will not defer to state agencies, while in practice they have consistently looked for ways to defer to state agency decisions. Thus, only by recognizing that uniformity in federal law reflects a goal and not an absolute mandate-and deferring to state agencies where Chevron recognizes that courts should not second-guess agency decisions-can federal courts facilitate emergence of cooperative federalism state and extricate themselves from highly technical policy issues that Chevron properly assigns to agencies. I. INTRODUCTION It remains a long-held principle of federal-state relations that federal courts are supreme over states in interpreting federal law. Over 180 years ago in Martin v. Hunter's Lessee, Justice Story decried suggestion that state court decisions concerning federal law could evade federal review, emphasizing that, [t]he public mischiefs that would attend such a state of things would be truly deplorable.1 In spirit of this dictum, federal courts have routinely rejected suggestion that they should defer to state agency interpretations of federal law.2 Such deference, argument goes, would destroy uniform interpretation and application of federal law.3 In this Article, I challenge this conventional view. The classic dictum in Marbury v. Madison calls for federal courts to have final say on what law is,4 yet they already defer to federal agencies under Chevron doctrine.5 In our contemporary age of cooperative federalism statutory schemes,6 basic principles that animate Chevron doctrine similarly call for deference by federal courts to state agencies. Moreover, such deference serves an important goal of cooperative federalism: it allows for and encourages state experimentation and interstate competition. In short, Chevron calls for an exception not only to Marbury dictum, but to Hunter's Lessee dictum as well. To illustrate my argument, I examine implementation of Telecommunications of 1996 (the Act or the Telecom Act),7 a recently enacted federal regulatory program that relies heavily on state agencies by inviting them to superintend-under federal statutory standards and subject to federal court review-the development of interconnection agreements between incumbent monopolists and new entrants into local telephone market.8 This examination demonstrates that federal courts are not well served by an intrusive standard of review of state agency decisions, and that, if not instructed to defer to state agency decisions in principle, they will nonetheless endeavor to do so in practice. To be sure, my argument anticipates that federal laws such as Telecom will not be applied uniformly across all fifty states. But complete uniformity in implementation of cooperative federalism statutes is both an undesirable and unattainable goal, as costs of intrusive judicial review are considerable, and there are important benefits that come from experimentation and interstate competition. …" @default.
