Anakin Skywalker lives in Endor, California. As a resident of Endor, Skywalker owns a singlestory house where he resides with his wife, Padme, and their two children, Yoda and Chewie. To pay his mortgage and property taxes, Skywalker owns and operates a small business called Tablemania, a store where he manufactures and sells coffee tables carved by his lightsaber.

Over the years, Skywalker has become world renowned for his critically-acclaimed coffee tables. In fact, just last year, Skywalker was featured on the cover of Table Illustrated as being the number one coffee table designer in the world. Skywalker often gets special orders from Hollywood's biggest stars (like George Lucas and Harrison Ford), and if you look really closely, you can almost always spot one of his coffee tables as set pieces in movies and television shows. Known for his signature glass tops, all of Skywalker's tables feature glass so thin and clear that his tables can sometimes appear invisible. In a period of five years, Skywalker went from selling 50 tables a year to selling 1,000 tables a year, and his profits are now quickly approaching one million dollars per year.

However, just when things seemed to be going perfectly for Skywalker, he learned one night while watching the national news that the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") had just passed a regulation calling for the ban of all glass-top coffee tables. Wondering what effect this would have on his business, Skywalker searched for the legislation on the internet, but he couldn't find anything. Instead, he did additional research and found the following regulation on the EPA's website:.

When reading more about the EPA, Luke learned that the EPA's director is appointed by the president, serves a five year term, and can only be removed by the president for good cause. He also learned that the EPA seems to be passing regulations through notice and comment and has an adjudicatory department where he could file a grievance. On the same website, he found 2 hyperlinks. The first hyperlink took him to a statute that created the EPA. It was very long, but Luke saw that the EPA was established by Congress "to protect the environment for the people of the United States." The second hyperlink took him to something called the Federal Register where he was able to read the entire regulation about coffee tables.
