What General Aviation Manufacturers Association filed (1)

Jan 18, 2023· Comment submitted by General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA)· EPA-HQ-OAR-2022-0389-0227

The General Aviation Industry Associations comprising the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), Helicopter Association International (HAI), National Air Transportation Association (NATA), National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the American Petroleum Institute (API), hereinafter referred to as "the Associations" respectfully submit the attached comments on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed finding that lead emissions associated with the use of aviation gasoline "cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare." The Associations represent general aviation aircraft owners, operators, and manufacturers, and the producers, refiners, and distributors of aviation gasoline that would be directly affected by any finding made by the EPA with respect to lead emissions from piston-engine aircraft, corresponding aircraft emissions standards, and related changes to the formulation of aviation gasoline. Complete comments in attached document.

Abstract

This proposed action grants a petition requesting that EPA evaluate whether lead emissions from aircraft that operate on leaded fuel cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare. This will include a description of analyses that EPA conducted to inform the endangerment finding, such as the lead inventory relevant to use of leaded avgas, air quality monitoring, air quality modeling, and potential exposure information.
