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

[[Page 71827]]

progress plan and motor vehicle emission budgets for the 2008 ozone 
Moderate classification of the State's portion of the NYMA. Planning 
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

baseline year under CAA section 182(b)(2)(B) and 40 CFR 51.1110. Table 
3 lists New Jersey's 2020 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 2020 motor vehicle 
emission budgets and the rationale for the EPA's approval are outlined 
in the EPA's proposed rulemaking. See 89 FR 56683.

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)).
