(PAMS) network. The SIP revision will 

also change a reference from the ‘‘West 

Virginia Department of Environmental 

Protection,’’ to the ‘‘Division of Air 

Quality.’’ In the Final Rules section of 

this Federal Register, EPA is approving 

the State’s SIP submittal as a direct final 

rule without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this action, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by November 15, 2017.
