SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The FAA published a final rule entitled “Emission Standards for Turbine Engine Powered Airplanes” in the Federal Register on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 (74 FR 19128). The final rule amended emissions standards for turbine engine powered airplanes to incorporate the standards adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This rule also amended certain test procedures for gaseous exhaust emissions, which are based on the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for gaseous emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NO_X). This final rule, as published, contained an erroneous cross reference to an ICAO Annex in § 34.82. The correct reference is ICAO Annex 16.

Correction

In FR Doc. E9-9433 appearing on page 19125 of the Federal Register of Tuesday, April 28, 2009, make the following corrections:

§ 34.82

[Amended]

1. On page 19128, second column, in the first sentence of § 34.82, remove the phrase “Appendix 2 to ICAO Annex 2 to ICAO Annex 16” and add the phrase “Appendix 2 to ICAO Annex 16” in its place.

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 29, 2009.
