The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve the State of Alabama's March 27, 2015, State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, submitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM).

The CSAPR FIPs for Alabama remain in place until such time as the State decides to replace the FIPs with a SIP revision.
