NMFS projects commercial landings of greater amberjack will reach the commercial annual catch limit (ACL) by October 18, 2017. Therefore, NMFS closes the commercial sector for greater amberjack in the South Atlantic EEZ on October 18, 2017, and it will remain closed until the start of the next fishing year on March 1, 2018. This closure is necessary to protect the greater amberjack resource. SUMMARY: This rule is effective at 12:01 a.m., local time, October 18, 2017, until 12:01 a.m., local time, March 1, 2018.

The FMP was prepared by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council and is implemented by NMFS under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations at 50 CFR part 622. The commercial ACL for greater amberjack is equivalent to the commercial quota. The commercial quota for greater amberjack in the South Atlantic is 769,388 lb (348,989 kg), gutted weight, as specified in 50 CFR 622.190(a)(3). Under 50 CFR 622.193(k)(1), NMFS is required to close the commercial sector DATES: E:\FR\FM\13OCR1.SGM 13OCR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 16, 2017 (82 FR 38828), EPA 
published a direct final rule approving SIP revisions submitted by the 
State of South Carolina, through the South Carolina Department of 
Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC). EPA took a direct final 
action to approve portions of the October 1, 2007, July 18, 2011, June 
17, 2013, August 8, 2014, August 12, 2015, July 27, 2016, and November 
4, 2016, submissions that revise Regulation 61-62.5, Standard No. 1--
``Emissions From Fuel Burning Operations'' and Regulation 61-62.5, 
Standard No. 4--``Emissions From Process Industries.''
    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 non-controversial 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 
direct final rule on both the changes to Regulation 61-62.5, Standard 
No. 1 and to Standard No. 4. As a result of the comment received, EPA 
is withdrawing the direct final rule approving the aforementioned 
changes to the South Carolina SIP at Regulation 61-62.5, Standard No. 1 
and Regulation 61-62.5, Standard No. 4. EPA will address the comment in 
a separate final action based on the proposed action also published on 
August 16, 2017 (82 FR 38874). EPA will not open a second comment 
period for this action.
