Sec. 50.11  National primary and secondary ambient air quality standards for 
nitrogen dioxide.

    (a) The level of the national primary ambient air quality standard 
for nitrogen dioxide is 0.053 parts per million (100 micrograms per 
cubic meter), annual arithmetic mean concentration.
    (b) The level of national secondary ambient air quality standard for 
nitrogen dioxide is 0.053 parts per million (100 micrograms per cubic 
meter), annual arithmetic mean concentration.
    (c) The levels of the standards shall be measured by:
    (1) A reference method based on appendix F and designated in 
accordance with part 53 of this chapter, or
    (2) An equivalent method designated in accordance with part 53 of 
this chapter.
    (d) The standards are attained when the annual arithmetic mean 
concentration in a calendar year is less than or equal to 0.053 ppm, 
rounded to three decimal places (fractional parts equal to or greater 
than 0.0005 ppm must be rounded up). To demonstrate attainment, an 
annual mean must be based upon hourly data that are at least 75 percent 
complete or upon data derived from manual methods that are at least 75 
percent complete for the scheduled sampling days in each calendar 
quarter.
