EPA/OAR RIN: 2060-AU69 Publication ID: Spring 2021 
Title: Control of Air Pollution From Aircraft Engines; Particulate Matter Emission Standards and Test Procedures 
Abstract: This proposed rulemaking follows the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) agreement on the international particulate matter (PM) emission standards for commercial aircraft engines in February 2019. Domestically the EPA anticipates proposing PM standards that would be at least as stringent as ICAO's standards, including replacing the existing smoke number visibility standard with a PM-based standard for certain classes of engines. This proposal would also include new measurement procedures for PM emissions and visibility control that align with those of ICAO.
