Please read this case, the APA allows private parties to petition federal agencies to commence rule-making proceedings on subjects within the agencies' jurisdiction.If the agency in question chooses to refrain from acting, it should promptly inform the petitioner or petitioners of its decision.Usually, however, judicial review will not be available to the disappointed petitioners.The courts typically will review neither the agency's refusal to hold a hearing on the subject or its refusal to issue the requested rule.

Explain one exception that can be cited to this usual rule.

if you were a judge, under which circumstances would you be persuaded than an agency must develop a rule?
