When a person or company that is the direct object of an action petitions for review, “there is ordinarily little question that the action . . . has caused [it] injury, and that a judgment preventing . . . the action will redress it.” Id. at 561–62. Here, however, Alamo seeks pre-enforcement review of the rules, which raises the question of whether it has demonstrated that the rules inflict a sufficiently concrete and actual injury.

In the context of this challenge, the company’s “affidavit can only be understood to mean that” if the rules were removed, it would
