Question:

Congress passed a law that would force automakers to deal with the problem of under inflated tires. The law said "the Secretary of Transportation shall complete a rulemaking for a regulation to require a warning system in new motor vehicles to indicate to the operator when a tire is significantly underinflated." The rule the agency wrote said that automakers would be in compliance if they put a low-pressure sensor on any tire on a vehicle, not all four tires. This was contested as improper stating that Congress meant for a sensor to be on every tire. How would you think the courts viewed the rule given the wording of the statute? [Public Citizen v. Mineta, 340 F.3d 39, Second Cir. (2003)]
