Is this really an emergency - ETOPS

The American Airlines Boeing 767 (N389AA) was en route from Chicago O'Hare (KORD) to London Heathrow (EGLL). While en route and at 5030N 045W the crew were conducting the required check of the crossfeed system prior to the ETOPS portion of the flight and determined that the left main fuel pump low pressure lights did not illuminate with the pump switches in the off position nor was there an EICAS warning. After discussion with maintenance, the flight declared an emergency and requested a diversion to John F. Kennedy (KJFK) where it landed safely. Maintenance conducted an operational test of the engine fuel feed system and all tested normal. The aircraft was returned to service.
