Abstract
EPA is taking direct final action under the Clean Air Act to determine that the Yuma nonattainment area in Arizona has attained the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM<INF>10</INF>). This determination is based upon monitored air quality data for the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS during the years 1998-2000. EPA also finds that the Yuma area is currently in attainment of the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS, and based on this finding, EPA is determining that certain Clean Air Act requirements are not applicable for so long as the Yuma area continues to attain the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS.
