Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his proposed endeavor, providing security services to combat drug trafficking, was of 'national importance' under the Dhanasar framework. Although the endeavor was found to have substantial merit, the record did not demonstrate that its impact would extend broadly to the security industry or have significant economic effects commensurate with national importance.
