The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is extending the final compliance date for smoke emission standards applicable to most Boeing B707, B720, and McDonnell-Douglas DC-8 aircraft using JT3D engines from 9/1/81 to 11/1/85. This amendment, which becomes effective 1/7/80, is compatible with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) noise regulation applicable to JT3D-powered aircraft not flown in foreign commerce. This revision will not only enable member airlines of the Air Transport Association of America to acquire the necessary hardware to modify their aircraft engines to control smoke emissions but may also result in considerable savings in retrofit cost, which is estimated at $21 million, to comply with the FAA noise rule which will require replacement of said engines by Sept. 1984. With modified engines, the delay will add 17,000 and 5300 tons/yr of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions, respectively; engine replacement will reduce these same emissions by 30,000 and 20,000 tons/yr, respectively.
