AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

AD results from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

It has been found occurrence of screw units 

manufactured with metallographic nonconformity that may increase their 

susceptibility to brittle fracture. The screw 

failure may result in loss of the related 

balance washer causing a possible ram air 

turbine (RAT) imbalance event, which may 

result in RAT structural failure, which 

associated with an electrical emergency 

situation, could result in loss of power to 

airplane flight controls hydraulic back-up 

system. 

* * * * * 

Loss of power to the hydraulic back-up 

system for airplane flight controls could 

reduce the ability of the flightcrew to 

maintain the safe flight and landing of 

the airplane. The proposed AD would 

require actions that are intended to 

address the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by January 18, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:

Discussion 

The Ageˆncia Nacional de Aviac ̧a ̃o 

Civil (ANAC), which is the aviation 

authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian 

Airworthiness Directives 2010–06–04 

and 2010–06–05, both dated July 26, 

2010 (referred to after this as ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products. The MCAI 

state: 

It has been found occurrence of screw units 

manufactured with metallographic nonconformity that may increase their 

susceptibility to brittle fracture. The screw 

failure may result in loss of the related 

balance washer causing a possible ram air 

turbine (RAT) imbalance event, which may 

result in RAT structural failure, which 

associated with an electrical emergency 

situation, could result in loss of power to 

airplane flight controls hydraulic back-up 

system. 

* * * * * 

Loss of power to the hydraulic back-up 

system for airplane flight controls could 

reduce the ability of the flightcrew to 

maintain the safe flight and landing of 

the airplane. Required actions include 

doing a general visual inspection to 

determine the model, part number, and 

serial number of the RAT, and to 

determine if a certain symbol is marked 

on affected RATs. Corrective actions 

include replacing the RAT balance 

screw and marking the RAT 

identification plate. You may obtain 

further information by examining the 

MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

EMBRAER has issued Service 

Bulletins 170–24–0048, Revision 01, 

dated May 12, 2010 (for Model ERJ 170 

airplanes); and 190–24–0019, Revision 

01, dated May 11, 2010 (for Model ERJ 

190 airplanes). The actions described in 

this service information are intended to 

correct the unsafe condition identified 

in the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have proposed 

different actions in this AD from those 

in the MCAI in order to follow FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a Note within the 

proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 241 products of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it would 

take about 9 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $0 per product. 

Where the service information lists 

required parts costs that are covered 

under warranty, we have assumed that 

there will be no charge for these costs. 

As we do not control warranty coverage 

for affected parties, some parties may 

incur costs higher than estimated here. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $184,365, or $765 per 

product. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. ‘‘Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs,’’ describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: 

General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We determined that this proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify this proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

3. Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

74672 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 230 / Wednesday, December 1, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. 

(EMBRAER): Docket No. FAA–2010– 

1161; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM– 

152–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by January 

18, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all Empresa 

Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) 

Model ERJ 170–100 LR, –100 STD, –100 SE, 

and –100 SU airplanes; and Model ERJ 170– 

200 LR, –200 SU, and –200 STD airplanes; 

and Model ERJ 190–100 STD, –100 LR, –100 

ECJ, and –100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 

190–200 STD, –200 LR, and –200 IGW 

airplanes; certificated in any category. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 24: Electrical power. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

It has been found occurrence of screw units 

manufactured with metallographic nonconformity that may increase their 

susceptibility to brittle fracture. The screw 

failure may result in loss of the related 

balance washer causing a possible ram air 

turbine (RAT) imbalance event, which may 

result in RAT structural failure, which 

associated with an electrical emergency 

situation, could result in loss of power to 

airplane flight controls hydraulic back-up 

system. 

* * * * * 

Loss of power to the hydraulic back-up 

system for airplane flight controls could 

reduce the ability of the flightcrew to 

maintain the safe flight and landing of the 

airplane. 

Compliance 

(f) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Actions 

(g) Within 1,200 flight hours or 6 months 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first: Do a general visual inspection to 

determine the RAT model, part number, and 

serial number, in accordance with Part 1 of 

the Accomplishment Instructions of 

EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170–24–0048, 

Revision 01, dated May 12, 2010; or 

EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190–24–0019, 

Revision 01, dated May 11, 2010; as 

applicable. A review of airplane maintenance 

records is acceptable in lieu of this 

inspection if the model, part number, and 

serial number of the RAT can be conclusively 

determined from that review. 

Note 1: For the purpose of this AD, a 

general visual inspection (GVI) is: ‘‘A visual 

examination of an interior or exterior area, 

installation or assembly to detect obvious 

damage, failure or irregularity. This level of 

inspection is made from within touching 

distance, unless otherwise specified. A 

mirror may be necessary to enhance visual 

access to all exposed surfaces in the 

inspection area. This level of inspection is 

made under normally available lighting 

conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, 

flashlight or drop-light, and may require 

removal or opening of access panels or doors. 

Stands, ladders or platforms may be required 

to gain proximity to the area being checked.’’ 

(1) For any RAT not having a serial number 

identified in EMBRAER Service Bulletin 

170–24–0048, Revision 01, dated May 12, 

2010; or EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190–24– 

0019, Revision 01, dated May 11, 2010: No 

further action is required by this paragraph. 

(2) For any RAT having a serial number 

identified in EMBRAER Service Bulletin 

170–24–0048, Revision 01, dated May 12, 

2010; or EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190–24– 

0019, Revision 01, dated May 11, 2010: 

Within 1,200 flight hours or 6 months after 

the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first, inspect to determine if the 

symbol ‘‘24–5’’ is marked on the RAT 

identification plate. A review of airplane 

maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of 

this inspection if the RAT identification plate 

can be conclusively determined to be marked 

with ‘‘24–5’’ from that review. 

(i) If the symbol ‘‘24–5’’ is marked on the 

RAT identification plate: No further action is 

required by this paragraph. 

(ii) If the symbol ‘‘24–5’’ is not marked on 

the RAT identification plate: Within 1,200 

flight hours or 6 months after the effective 

date of this AD, whichever occurs first, 

replace the RAT balance screw with a new 

balance screw, and mark the RAT 

identification plate with the symbol ‘‘24–5,’’ 

in accordance with Part 2 of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of EMBRAER 

Service Bulletin 170–24–0048, Revision 01, 

dated May 12, 2010; or EMBRAER Service 

Bulletin 190–24–0019, Revision 01, dated 

May 11, 2010; as applicable. 

(h) As of the effective date of this AD, no 

person may install a RAT identified in Part 

1 of the Accomplishment Instructions of 

EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170–24–0048, 

Revision 01, dated May 12, 2010; or 

EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190–24–0019, 

Revision 01, dated May 11, 2010; as 

applicable; on any airplane, unless that RAT 

is identified with the symbol ‘‘24–5’’ on the 

identification plate. 

Credit for Actions Accomplished in 

Accordance With Previous Service 

Information 

(i) Actions accomplished before the 

effective date of this AD in accordance with 

EMBRAER Service Bulletins 170–24–0048 or 

190–24–0019, both dated March 31, 2010, as 

applicable, are considered acceptable for 

compliance with the corresponding actions 

specified in this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: 

(1) The Brazilian ADs apply to ‘‘airplanes 

equipped with Hamilton Sundstrand ram air 

turbine (RAT), Model ERPS37T, Part Number 

(P/N) 1703781 Series; with the serial 

numbers (S/N) contained in Embraer Service 

Bulletin[s 170–24–0048 or 190–24–0019],’’ 

and their first action is an inspection to 

determine if affected equipment is installed. 

This AD applies to all of the airplanes, with 

the first action in the AD being an inspection 

to determine if affected equipment is 

installed, because the affected part could be 

rotated onto any of the airplanes listed in the 

applicability. 

(2) Although the MCAI states not to install 

the part identified in paragraph (h) of this AD 

after accomplishing the actions specified in 

paragraph (g)(2) of this AD, this AD prohibits 

installation of the part as of the effective date 

of this AD. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(j) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, Transport Airplane 

Directorate, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

227–2768; fax (425) 227–1149. Before using 

any approved AMOC on any airplane to 

which the AMOC applies, notify your 

principal maintenance inspector (PMI) or 

principal avionics inspector (PAI), as 

appropriate, or lacking a principal inspector, 

your local Flight Standards District Office. 

The AMOC approval letter must specifically 

reference this AD. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service. 

(3) Reporting Requirements: For any 

reporting requirement in this AD, under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Georgia State 

Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted 

by the Georgia Environmental 

Protection Division on September 26, 

2006, with a clarifying revision 

submitted on November 6, 2006. The 

September 26, 2006, submittal includes 

multiple modifications to Georgia’s Air 

Quality Rules found at Chapter 391–3– 

1. Previously, EPA took action on the 

majority of the September 26, 2006, 

submittal in an action published in the 

Federal Register on February 9, 2010. In 

today’s action, EPA is addressing only 

the portion of the September 26, 2006, 

submittal that relates to revisions to 

Georgia’s Stage II gasoline vapor 

recovery rule at 391–3–1–.02(zz). These 

revisions are part of Georgia’s strategy to 

meet the national ambient air quality 

standards. EPA has preliminarily 

determined that these revisions are 

consistent with the December 12, 2006, 

EPA memorandum from Stephen D. 

Page entitled Removal of Stage II Vapor 

Recovery in Situations Where 

Widespread Use of Onboard Refueling 

Vapor Recovery is Demonstrated. EPA is 

proposing to approve Georgia’s SIP 

revisions pursuant to section 110 of the 

Clean Air Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules Section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP revision as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this document. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this 

document should do so at this time. 

For additional information see the 

direct final rule which is published in 

the Rules Section of this Federal 

Register.

Pesticides; Regulation To Clarify 

Labeling of Pesticides for Export; 

Notification to the Secretary of 

Agriculture 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notification to the Secretary of 

Agriculture. 

SUMMARY: This document notifies the 

public that the Administrator of EPA 

has forwarded to the Secretary of 

Agriculture a draft proposed rule as 

required by section 25(a) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA). As described in the 

Agency’s semi-annual Regulatory 

Agenda, the draft proposed rule intends 

to clarify, restructure, and add 

specificity to existing labeling 

regulations for the export of 

unregistered pesticide products and 

devices. EPA is also considering a minor 

new requirement for the labeling of 

unregistered pesticide products and 

devices shipped between establishments 

operated by the same producer to ensure 

that they are clearly marked as 

unregistered products intended for 

export in order to prevent them from 

inadvertently entering the U.S. market.

docket for this action under docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–
