Randolph, Circuit Judge: Hundreds of thousands of dog breeders throughout the United States raise and sell puppies from their homes. The Animal Welfare Act requires certain animal "dealers" to be licensed and to submit to inspections. The Act, which is administered by the Department of Agricul- ture, exempts "retail pet stores" from these requirements. The Secretary defines "retail pet store" as "any outlet where only the following animals are sold or offered for sale, at retail for use as pets: Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, gophers, chinchilla, domestic ferrets, domestic farm animals, birds, and coldblooded spe- cies." 9 C.F.R. § 1.1.

Iglesias, United States Attorney, and Raymond Hamilton, Assistant United States Attorney, Albuquerque, New Mexico, for Defendant-Appellee. Before TACHA, Chief Judge, O'BRIEN and McCONNELL, Circuit Judges. McCONNELL, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff Charles A. Payton, a Roosevelt County, New Mexico farmer, was terminated from the Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) for planting and harvesting wheat on a thirty-five-acre parcel that had been dedicated as a conservation reserve. Mr. Payton contends that the Department was mistaken about the location of the conservation reserve. The Hearing Officer, after hearing testimony from various officials involved in administering the program, concluded that Mr. Payton is correct. The Hearing Officer was overruled by the Acting Director of the National Appeals Division (NAD). The questions before us are whether the decision of the Acting Director is subject to judicial review and, if so, whether it was arbitrary and capricious.(1) I. Background The CRP authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to contract with eligible farm owners and operators to remove agricultural land from farm production under an approved conservation plan, in exchange for government payments. Participants must implement a conservation plan, establish vegetative cover, and not allow grazing, harvesting, or other commercial use of the crop from the designated land. Various statutes and federal regulations define and govern these (1) After examining the briefs...
