jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), nor will it impose substantial 

direct costs on tribal governments or 

preempt tribal law. 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing these actions and 

other required information to the U.S. 

Senate, the U.S. House of 

Representatives, and the Comptroller 

General of the United States prior to 

publication of the rule in the Federal 

Register. A major rule cannot take effect 

until 60 days after it is published in the 

Federal Register. These actions are not 

a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of these 

actions must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by December 11, 

2017. Filing a petition for 

reconsideration by the Administrator of 

this final rule does not affect the finality 

of these actions for the purposes of 

judicial review nor does it extend the 

time within which a petition for judicial 

review may be filed, and shall not 

postpone the effectiveness of such rule 

or action. These actions may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. See section 

307(b)(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

17, 2017 (82 FR 39035), EPA published 

a direct final rule approving a SIP 

revision submitted by the State of 

Alabama, through the Alabama 

Department of Environmental 

Management. EPA took a direct final 

action to approve the portions of the 

May 8, 2013, submission that removes 

specific provisions of Alabama 

Administrative Code section 335–3–17– 

.01, ‘‘Transportation Conformity,’’ from 

the SIP that are no longer required. 

In the direct final rule, EPA explained 

that the Agency was publishing the rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency viewed the submittal as a noncontroversial SIP amendment and 

anticipated no adverse comments. 

Further, EPA explained that the Agency 

was publishing a separate document in 

the proposed rules section of the 

Federal Register to serve as the proposal 

to approve the SIP revision should an 

adverse comment be filed. EPA also 

noted that the rule would be effective 

generally 30 days after the close of the 

public comment period, without further 

notice unless the Agency received 

adverse comment by the close of the 

public comment period. EPA explained 

that if the Agency received such 

comments, then EPA would publish a 

document withdrawing the final rule 

and informing the public that the rule 

would not take effect. It was also 

explained that all public comments 

received would then be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule, and that EPA would not 

institute a second comment period on 

this action. 

EPA received one adverse comment 

from a single Commenter on the 

aforementioned rule. As a result of the 

comment received, EPA is withdrawing 

the direct final rule approving the 

aforementioned changes to the Alabama 

SIPs. EPA will address the comment in 

a separate final action based on the 

proposed action also published on 

August 17, 2017 (82 FR 39078). EPA 

will not open a second comment period 

for this action.
