## Abstract

EPA has determined that the Macon, Georgia, fine particulate (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as "the Macon Area" or "Area") has attained the 1997 annual average PM<INF>2.5</INF> national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). The Macon Area is comprised of Bibb County in its entirety and a portion of Monroe County. This determination of attainment is based upon complete, quality-assured and certified ambient air monitoring data for the 2007- 2009 period showing that the Area has monitored attainment of the 1997 annual PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS. The requirements for the Area to submit an attainment demonstration and associated reasonably available control measures (RACM), a reasonable further progress (RFP) plan, contingency measures, and other planning State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions related to attainment of the standard shall be suspended so long as the Area continues to attain the 1997 annual PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS.
