On June 8, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals vacated the Subpart 1 portion of the Phase 1 Rule (Court Order). The Subpart 1 areas in the Greenbook are listed as "Former Subpart 1" until reclassification of the areas is finalized. Proposed reclassifications were published on January 16, 2009 (74 FR 2936).

* See attached adjustments to original 2004 nonattainment areas. County subtotals and grand totals may not equal sum of parts. Part counties are only counted one time within groups.
The Greensboro EAC area was reclassified from Moderate EAC to Marginal EAC on November 2004. This table reflects the original area status after the reclassfication to Marginal EAC. Based on air quality data from 2005, 2006 and the first three quarters of 2007, the Denver CO Subpart 1 EAC area was designated nonattainment for 8-hour Ozone, effective November 20, 2007. The remaining thirteen (13) 8-Hr EAC areas were designated attainment on April 15, 2008.
