Sign Earthjustice Petition: Oppose Sections of the 2023 FAA Reauthorization Act That Could Delay Ban on Leaded Fuel

July 2, 2023

Earthjustice has long been in the forefront of efforts to eliminate leaded aviation fuel. For information on their work urging the EPA to finalize a long overdue endangerment finding on leaded gasoline, click here.

Language in the draft House and Senate versions of the 2023 FAA Reauthorization Act could delay efforts to once and for all eliminate this toxic fuel currently used by piston-engine aircraft in the U.S.

As stated in the petition,

"The undersigned organizations and entities write to you today in opposition of Section 620 of the Senate FAA Reauthorization bill and Section 431 of the House FAA Reauthorization bill, which would hamper the long overdue transition towards lead-free aviation fuels. We ask that these provisions be struck from the FAA Reauthorization bill in support of communities nationwide who continue to be exposed to unsafe levels of lead due to leaded avgas."
