Chevron Reference is the idea that when a statute is ambiguous the agencies can interpret it according to their expert opinion.

The alternative is requiring Congress to write every single rule explicitly and pass a law adapting to any change in circumstance or technology. In practice this means "no regulation" because Congress is pretty slow and adding more detail would only make them slower.
