8-Hr NAAQS: Attainment of the 8-Hr Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) at an individual monitor is achieved when the three-year average of the annual fourth-highest daily maximum (4th maximum) 8-hr average ozone concentration is less than 85 ppb.  The three-year average is the design value for that monitor.
