Title: Control of Air Pollution From Aircraft and Aircraft Engines: Proposed Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Standards and Test Procedures 
Abstract: This rulemaking followed the EPA's final endangerment and cause or contribute findings for aircraft greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which was published on August 15, 2016 (81 FR 54422). As a result of these positive findings, the EPA was obligated under section 231 of the Clean Air Act to set emission standards applicable to GHG emissions from the classes of aircraft engines used in certain types of aircraft covered in the findings. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted international aircraft CO2 standards in 2017. On August 20, 2020 (85 FR 51556), the EPA proposed GHG standards that would align with ICAO's standards. On January 11, 2021 (86 FR 2136), the EPA published final GHG standards.
