Agency action made reviewable
by statute and final agency action for which there is no other adequate
remedy in a court are subject to judicial review. A preliminary, procedural,
or intermediate agency action or ruling not directly reviewable is
subject to review on the review of the final agency action. Except
as otherwise expressly required by statute, agency action otherwise
final is final for the purposes of this section whether or not there
has been presented or determined an application for a declaratory
order, for any form of reconsideration, or, unless the agency otherwise
requires by rule and provides that the action meanwhile is inoperative,
for an appeal to superior agency authority.
[5 USC 704.]
