Petition For Exemption
Docket No.: FAA-2025-5699.
Petitioner: The Boeing Company.
Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR Sec. 38.1, 40 CFR 1030.1.
Description of Relief Sought: The Boeing Company (Boeing) seeks
relief from Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Sec. 38.1
and Title 40 CFR 1030.1. These regulations, which adopt the
International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) global standard for
airplane CO<INF>2</INF> certification requirements (Annex 16, Volume
III), prohibit the issuance of an original certificate of airworthiness
on or after January 1, 2028, for certain subsonic jet airplanes that do
not meet specific fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emission limits.
Boeing seeks relief to allow the certification of 35 Boeing 777
dedicated Freighter (777F) airplanes after January 1, 2028 which are
unable to comply with the fuel efficiency limits set by the
regulations. The requested exemption would allow the company to meet
existing customer demand and maintain production continuity until its
more fuel-efficient replacement, the 777-8F, becomes available.
