“[t]he authority to whom the Supreme Court as well as lower courts refer for this rule of statutory construction makes this qualification explicit: “[The rule of implied adoption of an agency interpretation on reenactment] does not apply where nothing indicates that the legislature had its attention directed to the administrative interpretation upon reenactment.” C. Sands, Sutherland on Statutory Construction § 49.09, at 400 (footnote omitted) (4th ed.1984).”

3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Agencies may not substantially alter regulatory policy without a reasoned explanation. The Department of Labor’s new temporary alien agricultural labor certification program reverses a two decade-old, court-approved policy of enhancing wage compensation to benefit United States farm workers.
