standards adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (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. This document corrects errors in
the preamble and regulatory text of that document.

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.
