with its level of 100 ppb would be expected to maintain annual average
NO2 concentrations well below the 53 ppb level of the annual
standard (U.S. EPA, 2017a, section 2.3.3).\124\ In this regard, the
Administrator takes note of the CASAC conclusion that ``attainment of
the 1-hour standard also implies that the annual DV averages 30 ppb
NO2'' and its advice that ``[g]iven uncertainties in the
epidemiologic evidence related to lack of near road monitoring and
potential confounding of traffic-related co-pollutants, there is
insufficient evidence to make a scientific judgment that adverse
effects occur at annual DVs less than 30 ppb NO2'' (Diez
Roux and Sheppard, 2017, p. 9). The Administrator observes that, as
additional years of data become available from the recently deployed
near-road NO2 monitors, it will be important to evaluate the
degree to which this relationship is also observed in the near-road
environment, and the degree to which the annual standard provides
additional protection, beyond that provided by the 1-hour standard.
Such an evaluation could inform future reviews of the primary
NO2 NAAQS, consistent with the CASAC advice that ``in the
next review cycle for oxides of nitrogen . . . EPA should review the
annual standard to determine if there is need for revision or
revocation'' (Diez Roux and Sheppard, 2017, p. 9).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \124\ This air quality relationship was discussed in the PA
(U.S. EPA, 2017a, Figure 2-11), where it was noted that the analysis
did not include data from near-road monitors due to the limited
amount of data available for the years analyzed (1980-2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the conclusions and considerations described above in this
section, the Administrator concludes that his proposed decision, and
the supporting rationale, analyses, and scientific assessments, remain
valid. Accordingly, in this review, he judges that it is appropriate to
retain the current 1-hour and annual primary NO2 standards,
without revision. As described in sections II.B.2 and II.B.3 above, the
Administrator notes that his decision to retain the current primary
NO2 standards in this review, without revision, is
consistent with the CASAC advice. In particular, the Administrator
notes that in its letter on the draft PA, the CASAC stated that it
``recommends retaining, and not changing the existing suite of
standards'' (Diez Roux and Sheppard, 2017, cover letter at p. 3). The
Administrator further observes that in addressing the 1-hour standard
the CASAC ``advise[d] that the current 1-hour standard is protective of
adverse effects and that there is not a scientific basis'' for a more
stringent standard (Diez Roux and Sheppard, 2017, p. 9). With respect
to the annual standard, the Administrator notes that the CASAC
specifically focused its conclusions on the degree of protection
provided by the combination of the 1-hour and annual standards,
advising that ``the suite of the 1-hour and annual standards is
protective against adverse effects'' (Diez Roux and Sheppard, 2017, p.
9). In light of this advice from the CASAC, the Administrator finds it
appropriate to focus on the degree of public health protection provided
by the current 1-hour and annual NO2 standards together in
reaching his decision in this review to retain the current primary
NO2 NAAQS.
    Inherent in the Administrator's conclusions are public health
policy judgments based on his consideration of the available scientific
evidence and analyses. These public health policy judgments include
judgments related to the appropriate degree of public health protection
that should be afforded against risk of respiratory morbidity in at-
risk populations, such as the potential for worsened respiratory
effects in people with asthma, as well judgments related to the
appropriate weight to be given to various aspects of the evidence and
quantitative analyses, including how to weigh their associated
uncertainties. Based on these considerations and the judgments
identified herein, the Administrator concludes that the current
standards provide the requisite protection of public health with an
adequate margin of safety, including protection of at-risk populations,
such as people with asthma, children, and older adults.
    In reaching this conclusion, the Administrator recognizes that in
establishing primary standards under the Act that are requisite to
protect public health with an adequate margin of safety, he is seeking
to establish standards that are neither more nor less stringent than
necessary for this purpose. The Act does not require that primary
standards be set at a zero-risk level or to protect the most sensitive
individual, but rather at a level that avoids unacceptable risks to
public health. In this context, the Administrator's conclusion is that
the current 1-hour and annual NO2 standards together provide
the requisite protection and that more or less stringent standards
would not be requisite.
    More specifically, given the increased risk of adverse effects
associated with NO2 concentrations above the current
standards, the Administrator does not believe standards less stringent
than the current standards would be sufficient to protect public health
with an adequate margin of safety. In this regard, he particularly
notes that, compared to the current standards, less stringent standards
would be more likely to allow: (1) NO2 exposures that could
exacerbate respiratory effects in people with asthma, particularly
those with more severe asthma; and (2) ambient NO2
concentrations likely to have been present in locations where
epidemiologic studies have reported associations with asthma-related
hospitalizations and with asthma development in children. Consistent
with these observations, the Administrator further notes the CASAC
conclusion, based on its consideration of the evidence, that ``there
are notable adverse effects at levels that exceed the current [1-hour]
standard, but not at the level of the current [1-hour] standard'' (Diez
Roux and Sheppard, 2017, p. 9) and its recommendation to retain, ``and
not change, the existing suite of standards'' (i.e., both 1-hour and
annual) (Diez Roux and Sheppard, 2017, cover letter at p. 3). For these
reasons, the Administrator concludes that standards less stringent than
the current 1-hour and annual standards (e.g., with levels higher than
100 ppb and 53 ppb, respectively) would not be requisite to

protect public health with an adequate margin of safety.
    The Administrator additionally recognizes that the uncertainties
and limitations associated with the many aspects of the estimated
relationships between respiratory morbidity and NO2
exposures are amplified with consideration of progressively lower
ambient NO2 concentrations. In his view, based on the
scientific information discussed throughout this document (e.g.,
sections II.A.2, II.A.3, II.B.1, II.B.3), including uncertainties
inherent in that information, there is appreciable uncertainty in the
extent to which reductions in asthma exacerbations or asthma
development would result from revising the primary NO2 NAAQS
to be more stringent than the current standards. Therefore, the
Administrator also does not believe standards more stringent than the
current standards would be appropriate. With regard to this, the CASAC
advised that ``there is not a scientific basis for a standard lower
than the current 1-hour standard'' (Diez Roux and Sheppard, 2017, p.
9). The CASAC also did not advise setting the level of the annual
standard lower than the current level of 53 ppb, noting that the 1-hour
standard can generally maintain long-term NO2 concentrations
well below the level of the annual standard, and observing that there
is insufficient scientific evidence to make a scientific judgment that
adverse effects occur at those lower concentrations (Diez Roux and
Sheppard, 2017, cover letter p. 3).
    Based on all of the above considerations, and consistent with the
CASAC advice, the Administrator concludes that it is appropriate to
retain the current standards, without revision, in this review.

C. Decision on the Primary Standards

    For the reasons discussed above, and taking into account
information and assessments presented in the ISA and PA, the advice and
recommendations from CASAC, and consideration of public comments, the
Administrator concludes that the current primary 1-hour and annual
NO2 standards together are requisite to protect public
health with an adequate margin of safety, including the health of at-
risk populations, and is retaining the standards without revision.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was,
therefore, not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.

B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs

    This action is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action
because this action is not significant under Executive Order 12866.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA. There are no information collection requirements directly
associated with revising or retaining NAAQS under section 109 of the
CAA. This action retains, without any revisions, the current primary
NAAQS for oxides of nitrogen.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This
action will not impose any requirements on small entities. Rather, this
action retains, without revision, existing national standards for
allowable concentrations of NO2 in ambient air as required
by section 109 of the CAA. See also American Trucking Associations, 175
F.3d at 1044-45 (NAAQS do not have significant impacts upon small
entities because NAAQS themselves impose no regulations upon small
entities).

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
the UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely
affect small governments. This action imposes no enforceable duty on
any state, local or tribal governments, or the private sector.

F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.

G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. It does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes. This action does not change existing
regulations; it retains, without revision, the current primary NAAQS
for oxides of nitrogen. The primary NAAQS protect public health,
including the health of at-risk or sensitive groups, with an adequate
margin of safety. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
action.

H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is
not economically significant as defined in Executive Order 12866. We
note, however, that the standards retained with this action provide
protection for children and other at-risk populations against adverse
health effects. The health effects evidence and risk assessment
information for this action, which focuses on children and other at-
risk populations, is summarized in section II.A.2 and II.A.3 above and
described in the ISA and PA, copies of which are in the public docket
for this action.

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This action does not involve technical standards.

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    The EPA believes that this action does not have disproportionately
high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority,
low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples, as specified in
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This action is
to retain without revision the existing primary NAAQS for oxides of
nitrogen.
    The NAAQS decisions are based on an explicit and comprehensive
assessment of the current scientific evidence and associated exposure/
risk

analyses. More specifically, the EPA expressly considers the available
information regarding health effects among at-risk populations,
including that available for low-income populations and minority
populations, in decisions on the primary (health based) NAAQS. Where
low-income populations or minority populations are among the at-risk
populations, the decision on the standard is based on providing
protection for these and other at-risk populations and lifestages.
Where such populations are not identified as at-risk populations, NAAQS
that are established to provide protection to the at-risk populations
would also be expected to provide protection to all other populations,
including low-income populations and minority populations.
    As discussed in sections II.A.2 and II.B.1 above, and in sections
II.F and II.C of the proposal, the EPA expressly considered the
available information regarding health effects among at-risk
populations in reaching the decision that the existing primary (health-
based) standards for oxides of nitrogen are requisite. The ISA and PA
for this review, which include identification of populations at risk
from NO2 health effects, are available in the docket, EPA-
HQ-OAR-2013-0146. Based on consideration of this information and the
full evidence base, quantitative exposure/risk analyses, advice from
the CASAC and consideration of public comments, the Administrator
concludes that the existing standards protect public health, including
the health of at-risk or sensitive groups, with an adequate margin of
safety (as discussed in section II.B.4 above).

L. Determination Under Section 307(d)

    Section 307(d)(1)(V) of the CAA provides that the provisions of
section 307(d) apply to ``such other actions as the Administrator may
determine.'' Pursuant to section 307(d)(1)(V), the Administrator
determines that this action is subject to the provisions of section
307(d).

M. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    The EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and
to the Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
