1Areas are generally required to report the AQI based on B-hour ozone values. However. there are a small number of areas where an AQI based on 1-hourozone values would 

### be more precautionary. In these cases, in addition to calculating the B-hour ozone index value, the 1-hour ozone index value may be calculated, and the maximum of the two values reported.

28-hour 0 3 values do not define higherAQI values (<:301). AQI values of 301 or greater are calculated with 1-hour 0 3 concentrations.

311 a different SHLfor PM2 .s is promulgated, these numberswill change accordingly.

41-hr S02values do not define higher AQI values 

### (<aDO). AQI values of200 or greaterare calculated with 24-hour S02 concentrations.
