I. What is the background for this
action?
On July 10, 2024, the EPA proposed
to approve State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revisions submitted by the State of
New Jersey on November 23, 2021, for
purposes of addressing planning
elements for the 2008 and 2015 ozone
8-hour National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS) for the New Jersey
portion of the New York-Northern New
Jersey-Long Island (NY–NJ–CT)
nonattainment area (also referred to as
the New York Metro Area or NYMA)
and the New Jersey portion of the
Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City
(PA–NJ–MD–DE) nonattainment area
(also referred to as the Philadelphia
area) (the Proposal). See 89 FR 56683. In
the Proposal, the EPA proposed to
approve New Jersey’s reasonable further
progress plan and motor vehicle
emission budgets for New Jersey’s
portion of the NYMA for the 2008 ozone
Serious classification, New Jersey’s
certification that the State has satisfied
the requirements for an ozone
nonattainment new source review
(NNSR) program for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS in both nonattainment areas
and statewide pursuant to requirements
for States located in the Ozone
Transport Region (OTR), New Jersey’s
certification that the statewide NNSR
also satisfies the requirements for the
State’s Serious classification in the
NYMA area for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS,
New Jersey’s certification that the State
has satisfied the requirements for a
nonattainment emission inventory for
the 2015 ozone NAAQS in both
nonattainment areas, New Jersey’s
certification that the State has satisfied
the requirements of an emission
statement program for the 2008 ozone
Serious classification for the NYMA
nonattainment area, and New Jersey’s
certification that the State has satisfied
the requirements for clean fuels for fleet
for the NYMA.
In the Proposal, the EPA also
proposed to approve portions of a
comprehensive SIP revisions submitted
by the State on New Jersey on January
2, 2018. And the EPA proposed to
approve New Jersey’s reasonable further

IV. Environmental Justice
Considerations
New Jersey provided a supplement to
the SIP submission being proposed for
approval with this rulemaking on June
6, 2024. The supplemental submission
briefed the EPA on Environmental
Justice (EJ) considerations within New
Jersey by detailing the State’s programs
and initiatives addressing the needs of
communities with EJ concerns that have
been ongoing since 1998. For more
information on New Jersey’s EJ
initiatives, the EPA refers the reader to
the proposal published on July 10, 2024.
See 89 FR 56683.
Although New Jersey considered EJ as
part of its submittal, the EPA has
determined that conducting its own
comprehensive EJ analysis is not
necessary in the context of this SIP
submission for addressing planning
elements for the 2008 and 2015 ozone
8-hour NAAQS, as the CAA and its
applicable implementing regulations
neither prohibit nor require such an
evaluation of EJ in relation to the
relevant requirements. Additionally,
there is no evidence suggesting that this
action contradicts the goals of E.O.
12898 or that it will disproportionately
harm any specific group or have severe
health or environmental impacts.
Instead, the EPA expects that this
action, which assesses whether New
Jersey’s SIP adequately addresses
planning elements for the 2008 and
2015 ozone 8-hour NAAQS, will
generally have a neutral impact on all
populations, including communities of
color and low-income groups, and will
not worsen existing air quality
standards.
The EPA concludes, for informational
purposes only, that this final rule will
not disproportionately harm
communities with environmental justice
concerns. New Jersey did evaluate EJ
considerations voluntarily in its SIP
submission, but the EPA’s assessment of
these considerations is provided for
context, not as the basis for the action.
The EPA is taking action under the CAA
independently of the State’s EJ
assessment.

V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve State choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves State law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by State law. For that
reason, this final action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR
21879, April 11, 2023);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
because it approves a State program;
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act.
In addition, this final rulemaking
action, pertaining to New Jersey’s
submissions, is not approved to apply
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
on any Indian reservation land or in any
other area where the EPA or an Indian
Tribe has demonstrated that a Tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have Tribal
implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on Tribal
governments or preempt Tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
Executive Order 12898 (Federal
Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies
to identify and address
‘‘disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects’’
of their actions on communities with
environmental justice (EJ) concerns to
the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law. EPA defines
environmental justice EJ as ‘‘the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect
to the development, implementation,
and enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies.’’ EPA further
defines the term fair treatment to mean
that ‘‘no group of people should bear a
disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks,
including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of
industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and
policies.’’
The NJDEP evaluated environmental
justice as part of its SIP submittal even
though the CAA and applicable
implementing regulations neither
prohibit nor require an evaluation. The
EPA’s evaluation of the NJDEP’s
environmental justice considerations is
described above in the section titled,
‘‘Environmental Justice
Considerations.’’ The analysis was done
for the purpose of providing additional
context and information about this
rulemaking to the public, not as a basis
of the action. The EPA is taking action
under the CAA on bases independent of
New Jersey’s evaluation of
environmental justice. In addition, there
E:\FR\FM\04SER1.SGM
04SER1
71829
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 4, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
is no information in the record upon
which this decision is based that is
inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O.
12898 of achieving environmental
justice for people of color, low-income
populations, and Indigenous peoples.
This action is subject to the
Congressional Review Act, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House
of the Congress and the Comptroller
General of the United States. This action
is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by November 4,
2024. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of
this final rule does not affect the finality
of this action for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time
within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed and shall not
postpone the effectiveness of such rule
or action. This action may not be
challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2)).

I. What is the background for this action?
On July 10, 2024, the EPA proposed to approve State Implementation
Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of New Jersey on November
23, 2021, for purposes of addressing planning elements for the 2008 and
2015 ozone 8-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for the
New Jersey portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island (NY-
NJ-CT) nonattainment area (also referred to as the New York Metro Area
or NYMA) and the New Jersey portion of the Philadelphia-Wilmington-
Atlantic City (PA-NJ-MD-DE) nonattainment area (also referred to as the
Philadelphia area) (the Proposal). See 89 FR 56683. In the Proposal,
the EPA proposed to approve New Jersey's reasonable further progress
plan and motor vehicle emission budgets for New Jersey's portion of the
NYMA for the 2008 ozone Serious classification, New Jersey's
certification that the State has satisfied the requirements for an
ozone nonattainment new source review (NNSR) program for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS in both nonattainment areas and statewide pursuant to
requirements for States located in the Ozone Transport Region (OTR),
New Jersey's certification that the statewide NNSR also satisfies the
requirements for the State's Serious classification in the NYMA area
for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS, New Jersey's certification that the State has
satisfied the requirements for a nonattainment emission inventory for
the 2015 ozone NAAQS in both nonattainment areas, New Jersey's
certification that the State has satisfied the requirements of an
emission statement program for the 2008 ozone Serious classification
for the NYMA nonattainment area, and New Jersey's certification that
the State has satisfied the requirements for clean fuels for fleet for
the NYMA.
In the Proposal, the EPA also proposed to approve portions of a
comprehensive SIP revisions submitted by the State on New Jersey on
January 2, 2018. And the EPA proposed to approve New Jersey's
reasonable further

elements addressed in this final action from New Jersey's comprehensive
January 2, 2018, and November 23, 2021, SIP submissions along with the
respective ozone NAAQS classification and nonattainment areas are
outlined in Table 1.
The specific details of New Jersey's SIP submittals and the
rationale for the EPA's approval action are explained in the EPA's
proposed rulemaking and are not restated in this final action. For this
detailed information, the reader is referred to the Proposal.

II. What comments were received in response to the EPA's proposed
action?
In response to the Proposal, the EPA received no comments during
the 30-day public comment period. As a result, no changes have been
made to this final rule.
III. What action is the EPA taking?
In this rule, the EPA is approving portions of a comprehensive SIP
revision submitted by the State of New Jersey on November 23, 2021,
certifying that the State has satisfied the requirements for an ozone
NNSR program for the Serious classification of the 2008 Ozone NAAQS,
both Marginal and Moderate classifications and OTR requirements for the
2015 Ozone NAAQS, certifying that the State has satisfied the
requirements for a nonattainment emission inventory for the 2015 Ozone
NAAQS, certifying that the State has satisfied the requirements of an
emission statement program for the 2008 Ozone Serious classification
for the NYMA, and certifying that the State has satisfied the
requirements for clean fuels for fleets for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS
Serious classification for its portion of the NYMA. The EPA is also
approving New Jersey's reasonable further progress plans for both the
Moderate and Serious classifications of the 2008 Ozone NAAQS in the
NYMA.
In this rulemaking, the EPA is finalizing approval of New Jersey's
2017 motor vehicle emissions budgets established for the New Jersey
portion of the NY-NJ-CT nonattainment area in the State's comprehensive
January 2, 2018, SIP submittal. The EPA is approving these budgets
because the EPA has completed its review of the State's overall 2008
Moderate RFP plan which demonstrates the required VOC/NOx emission
reduction from the 2011 baseline year under CAA section 172(c)(2),
182(b)(1), and 40 CFR 51.1110. Table 2 lists New Jersey's 2017 motor
vehicle emission budgets for the New Jersey portion of the NY-NJ-CT
nonattainment area being approved into New Jersey's SIP. Additional
details of New Jersey's 2017 motor vehicle emission budgets and the
rationale for the EPA's approval are outlined in the EPA's proposed
rulemaking. See 89 FR 56683.

In this rulemaking, the EPA is also finalizing approval of New
Jersey's 2020 motor vehicle emission budgets established for the New
Jersey portion of the NY-NJ-CT nonattainment area in the State's
comprehensive November 23, 2021, SIP submittal. The EPA is approving
these budgets because the EPA has completed its review of the State's
overall 2008 Serious RFP plan which demonstrates the required VOC/
NOX emission reduction from the 2011
[[Page 71828]]
baseline year under CAA section 182(b)(2)(B) and 40 CFR 51.1110. Table

IV. Environmental Justice Considerations
New Jersey provided a supplement to the SIP submission being
proposed for approval with this rulemaking on June 6, 2024. The
supplemental submission briefed the EPA on Environmental Justice (EJ)
considerations within New Jersey by detailing the State's programs and
initiatives addressing the needs of communities with EJ concerns that
have been ongoing since 1998. For more information on New Jersey's EJ
initiatives, the EPA refers the reader to the proposal published on
July 10, 2024. See 89 FR 56683.
Although New Jersey considered EJ as part of its submittal, the EPA
has determined that conducting its own comprehensive EJ analysis is not
necessary in the context of this SIP submission for addressing planning
elements for the 2008 and 2015 ozone 8-hour NAAQS, as the CAA and its
applicable implementing regulations neither prohibit nor require such
an evaluation of EJ in relation to the relevant requirements.
Additionally, there is no evidence suggesting that this action
contradicts the goals of E.O. 12898 or that it will disproportionately
harm any specific group or have severe health or environmental impacts.
Instead, the EPA expects that this action, which assesses whether New
Jersey's SIP adequately addresses planning elements for the 2008 and
2015 ozone 8-hour NAAQS, will generally have a neutral impact on all
populations, including communities of color and low-income groups, and
will not worsen existing air quality standards.
The EPA concludes, for informational purposes only, that this final
rule will not disproportionately harm communities with environmental
justice concerns. New Jersey did evaluate EJ considerations voluntarily
in its SIP submission, but the EPA's assessment of these considerations
is provided for context, not as the basis for the action. The EPA is
taking action under the CAA independently of the State's EJ assessment.
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves State law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by State
law. For that reason, this final action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11,
2023);
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a State program;
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act.
In addition, this final rulemaking action, pertaining to New
Jersey's submissions, is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian Tribe
has demonstrated that a Tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have Tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on communities with environmental justice
(EJ) concerns to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines environmental justice EJ as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that
``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
The NJDEP evaluated environmental justice as part of its SIP
submittal even though the CAA and applicable implementing regulations
neither prohibit nor require an evaluation. The EPA's evaluation of the
NJDEP's environmental justice considerations is described above in the
section titled, ``Environmental Justice Considerations.'' The analysis
was done for the purpose of providing additional context and
information about this rulemaking to the public, not as a basis of the
action. The EPA is taking action under the CAA on bases independent of
New Jersey's evaluation of environmental justice. In addition, there
[[Page 71829]]
is no information in the record upon which this decision is based that
is inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of achieving
environmental justice for people of color, low-income populations, and
Indigenous peoples.
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by November 4, 2024. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).
