Background
On April 24, 2024, the FAA published a final rule titled "Control of Non-Volatile Particulate Matter From Aircraft Engines: Emission Standards and Test Procedures" (89 FR 31078). That document adopts standards for measuring non-volatile particulate matter nvPM exhaust emissions from aircraft engines. With this rulemaking, the FAA implements the nvPM emissions standards adopted by the EPA, allowing manufacturers to certificate engines to the new nvPM emissions standards in the United States and fulfilling the statutory obligations of the FAA under the Clean Air Act. After publishing the final rule, the FAA became aware that certain information in the preamble and regulatory text sections regarding compliance, were inadvertently omitted. This document corrects errors in the preamble and regulatory text of that document.

1. On page 31081, in the first column, at the end of the second paragraph of section B, add the sentence "To allow manufacturers with aircraft type certificated between January 1, 2023, and the effective date of this rule to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of part 34 without interruption to their manufacturing or delivery process, manufacturers will have 90 days to comply with this rule after the rule becomes effective." after the sentence "This date is consistent with the effective date of the EPA final rule that adopted these standards."
2. On page 31088, in the first column, in amendatory instruction 11 for §?34.25, add paragraph (d) to read as follows:
§?34.25 [Corrected]
