Title: Air Quality Designations and Classifications for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards 
Abstract: This action will establish the air quality designations for all areas of the United States under the revised 2008 ozone NAAQS. Designations of attainment, nonattainment, or unclassifiable are based upon air quality monitoring data and other relevant information pertaining to the air quality in the affected area, including whether an area contributes to a violation of the standard in a nearby area. The original deadline for this action was March 12, 2010. On January 6, 2010, EPA announced it had extended the designations deadline by one year, until March 12, 2011, pending ongoing reconsideration of the 2008 NAAQS. EPA has now completed reconsideration of the 2008 NAAQS, and since it has not been revised or replaced, EPA now intends to complete the ozone designations for the 2008 standard by mid-2012.
