good morning morning your honour's and please the court groaners before this case before this court today is a rare and unprecedented case here the department has cited three statutes in its rule now one of the statutes three twenty nine absolutely authorizes  and takes a case within the district court's jurisdiction the other two however although part had absolutely nothing to do with the rule as has been made clear by the department in its public role making brit calls they teachings of these party statutes an error accordingly the reasonable in light of the agency's error the agency cited the wrong statutes and in so doing created immense amount of confusion and in this rare case that confusion should allow this  the american petroleum institute case right we had it we had a circumstance where the we look to act we looked beyond the regulation itself the citation of authority and the regulation is right we we looked at the course of conduct of the agency and we said you know look everyone knows that they're actually i think it was fifteen that they're actually acting pursuant to fifteen d let's let's let common sense prevail here they clearly have authority you think we would sit under it had they cited forty one seventy weight or forty one seven or nine or think you agree then we're in direct review where they had authority to do that they just made a mistake counter i don't think so first of all an a p i this court didn't look beyond what was at least referenced in the in the rule to sort of search out other statute that might possibly the plight the regulations i did section fifteen only certain sub parts of section says when it when they apply to files a complaint the federal rules require one section of the complaint to state the jurisdictional basis for the complaint and time after time the plaintiffs our courts says it doesn't matter that if we know if we see general federal question jurisdiction or diversity jurisdiction they haven't named it the case can go forward and that makes perfect sense to do reasons civil procedure or states back to the last century a perfect analogy we are under when jurisdiction even in cases not like this when one jurisdiction is based on certain facts exist in the world courts do require plaintiffs to plead those to itself we don't want this case in the court of appeals let's just let's shove it into the district court and they come up with a you know a very remote statute in the rule making in the federal register that that avoids the direct review in the court of appeal so what they've done is waived direct review you can't do that yesterday and that but i think that what's important to note from this court's line of cases is that this court has never allowed an agency to point to an extraneous that and agency or in this case the department of transportation could have simply by the way they cited authority in the extension or have have have chosen the the venue the forum in which  a challenge would be brought i mean you know in other words if they could rely exclusively on three twenty nine right then it would require jurisdiction in one is is congress given in the agency that sort of authority that they can decide simply by which regulation they're going to invoke whether there's directly who or not you know i don't know that congress  it is not uncommon in the federal court system that parties are given some amount of choice so long as they cite to the court or cite to the public the facts that would invoke a particular jurisdiction of that sensible at stake here too and when you see judicial review i don't think it's highlights your honor it's not harmless because p v it was and what the consequences we send it back to the agency or the district or sense of back to the agency and they put in forty forty one seven or whatever it is and then i do think that in a case where there is an error that error should be borne by the federal government not the general public the general public i'm sorry most large if they cited no statute or honor then i think that this court's default rule that good morning may it please the court summoned by that's for the department of transportation the district court here got it right in transferring the case jurisdiction is proper here because as the court has noted this is clearly the type of dispute the ca type of case that congress and acting forty six one ten was directing to this court's jurisdiction and national federation of the blind tells us that if there was any confusion or uncertainty about where to  file that this court's precedence to wrack to the to protect their rights the parties should have filed here within sixty days they could proceed concurrently filing in both courts if they wish to do so and their district court papers make clear that this wasn't a case in which there was real confusion about the relevance of part a and that's in in two respects first i their district court or papers acknowledge that they honor forty six one ten says that if the agency's order here rule is in whole or in part even just in part under part a they need to come here so even if we just look on the face of and it's a much more general provision and that provisions authorizes the agency to impose requirements on various classes of air carriers this rule imposes requirements on classes of air carriers it requires air carriers to meet certain requirements to engage in tracking of various pieces of information historically as we know it in our brief for once having a one just as a matter of background basically sad this is a provision that authorizes d o t to promulgated any rules and regulations necessary to implement other provisions of this subchapter and that includes four one seven zero eight and four one meet their butt my point was only in using it in response to your question to explain why i think that somebody looking at the feast of the role would still be expected if you're looking here let's just step back and appreciate what the what the petitioners were looking at as the rest of the public would have been you're looking at a rule where there's a been a long history that this regulation has always cited to party provisions namely for one seven zero in for one seven zero nine a change occurs but still party provisions are being cited the petitioner district court papers make clear that they understood they cited in their complaint district court at the outset of the litigation therefore one seven away in four one seven zero nine provided the relevant statutory authority for the regulation that's at issue here and for us for him and for amendments to that regulation which is what is directly at issue here and they also acknowledge that based on what was written in the rule including the citation to twenty seven to one point two seven and they understood that the agency was purporting to act under part a so this is not a case where there was confusion which is why their briefs did not argue that the lack of timeliness was the result of having been this lad moreover that kind of argumentation would be for close by this court's precedents by decisions like national federation of the blind and and here this really is a situation where the district her is right it's out of time and the argument that they've made about timeliness it is limited to this notion that the efforts that they were engaged and in asking congress haven't made an argument on the merits and we what we've said i think is that we've looked at the record here there are various circumstances as the petitioners acknowledge where you can proceed an agency may proceed without going through notice and comment the question is whether this fits into with the airlines to get them in a position to do this reporting so just to provide some background about that what the roulette issue does it is a substantial change to the way in which baggage handling metrics are gathered and reported and it affects not just mobility aids but of why we waste in the strong well that's why i hate your honor wanted to make sure the court is aware that the agency has not been wasting time in so far as the agency has been using this time to know that sure that the airlines are given to comply  thank you very much for your time thank you very much you back two minutes for rebuttal just want to make a couple very quick points first of all the agency did disclaim the four one seven one argument that's at page ninety to get it and opinion done and for why it's january one you're going to get exactly what you want now one could argue that the government's litigation strategy has  it let's say it goes back to the district court you know six weeks or a month or a month then you're back in the district court a much you've got to schedule hearings there they're busy there  additional day early that this would that this reporting date is made available is important to paralyzed veterans of america and secondly i would say one thing is one month i think that that is important especially given that would be that the holiday season when travel is going to be up absolutely one month is important but second i would point out your honor that you know courts have often held that even if an effective date even if there's a challenge like this in a confined state passes a statement from the court that what happened was unlawful is important and you have to understand that was unlawful might encourage or might discourage the department from proceeding as it did before i'd like to make a point about reasonable grounds thank you very much your honor even if your honour's disagree that this case is appropriate in the district court the pitchers are still d remedy congress has made clear that in certain limited cases reasonable grounds excuse a late filed petition now of course your honour's this circuit generally looks at whether there's some sort of agency created confusion that was the public but i think that and seven zero nine in our complaint we were aware of it when we filed the complaint peavy it was not represented by anyone during the time during the sixty day period it wasn't until after the six day period that they sought counsel and i think so as a matter of as a member of the general public they should not be required to go searching through the u s code to find other statutes that might apply it would refresh me i don't recall that argument the argument you just made which is a good argument to cite in your brief yes your honor it's towards the end of our reply brief have we make the argument and i distinguish the cases where this court is held the confusion is not a sufficient grounds in all of those cases it wasn't in your top so i think we do reference it in our opening brief but we certainly give it more more space in the reply brief yes your honor and the cases that hold the confusion isn't an excuse in those cases there simply isn't the agency error that there is in this case so recognizing that it's a limited exception we would employ this court to apply it here where the agency has has made such an egregious error has well your honor is i think whether the case the longs here or in the district court the government has conceded the merits and so the titian areas are to a win whether that's a summary judgment grants or the grant of the petition for review and in that case we have argued that there should be vacated thirty four point twelve does give the agency the ability to grant waivers to individual airlines but only on the showing of cars and so we do think that it is important that that the general rule is that this reporting requirements is in effect and to the extent that the agency wants to
