Courts will not disturb an administrative agency's determination unless it lacks any rational basis (see Matter of Gilman v New York State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal, 99 NY2d 144, 149 [2002], supra). An agency's interpretation of its own regulations "is entitled to deference if that interpretation is not irrational or unreasonable" (Matter of Gaines v New York State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal, 90 NY2d 545, 548-549 [1997]; see Samiento v World Yacht Inc., 10 NY3d 70, 79 [2008]). However, "where the question is one of pure statutory reading and analysis, dependent only on accurate apprehension of legislative intent, there is little basis to rely on any special competence or expertise of the administrative agency and its interpretive regulations" (Roberts, 13 NY3d at 285 [internal quotation marks omitted]).
