Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 130 / Monday, July 8, 2024 / Proposed Rules 172(a)(2)(C) does not impose any additional regulatory requirements on sources beyond those imposed by state law. The State did not evaluate EJ considerations as part of its documentation supporting its request for an attainment date extension; the CAA and applicable implementing regulations neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. The EPA performed an EJ analysis, as is described above in the section titled, ‘‘Environmental Justice Considerations.’’ The analysis was included in this document for the purpose of providing additional context and information about this rulemaking to the public, not as a basis of the action. Due to the nature of the action being taken here, this action is expected to have a neutral impact on the air quality of the affected area. In addition, there is no information in the record upon which this decision is based inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of achieving EJ for people of color, low-income populations, and Indigenous peoples.
