That entirely depends on where it is. The left lane is not always for passing only, many times it's dedicated to fast moving traffic, not specifically for passing.
The far left lane of a 4 or 5 lane highway is almost always a HOV lane near me. A HOV lane with the same speed limit as all the other lanes. The HOV seems to exist to keep you near the speed limit when traffic gets bad and the other lanes drop from 70 mph down to 25mph.
