Text: The UKB argues that HUD acted arbitrarily and capriciously by failing to consider whether the designation of additional formula areas would be fair and equitable under 24 C.F.R. § 1000.302(2). The UKB's entire argument on this issue is as follows: In the present case, the administrative record establishes that HUD failed to consider IHBG funding in the [UKB]'s proposed Formula Area as under 24 C.F.R. § 1000.302(2). Accordingly, HUD's denial was arbitrary and capricious. Aplt. Br. at 28. The UKB fails to clarify what HUD failed to consider in the UKB's Formula Response Form. In the absence of that clarification, I cannot conclude that HUD's action was arbitrary and capricious.
