Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2010–14– 

14 that applies to certain Embraer S.A. 

Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 airplanes. 

AD 2010–14–14 currently requires, for 

certain airplanes, repetitively replacing 

the low-stage check valve and 

associated seals of the right hand (RH) 

engine’s engine bleed system with a 

new check valve and new seals, 

replacing the low pressure check valves 

(LPCVs), and revising the maintenance 

program. For certain other airplanes, AD 

2010–14–14 requires replacing a certain 

low-stage check valve with an improved 

low-stage check valve. For certain 

airplanes, this new AD adds replacing 

certain LPCVs of the left hand (LH) and 

RH engines, which would be an option 

for other airplanes. This AD was 

prompted by reports of uncommanded 

engine shutdowns on both Model ERJ 

170 and ERJ 190 airplanes due to 

excessive wear and failure of LPCVs 

having certain part numbers. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent the 

possibility of a dual engine in-flight 

shutdown due to LPCV failure. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

August 6, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of August 6, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain other publications listed in 

this AD as of August 26, 2010 (75 FR 

42585, July 22, 2010). 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of September 13, 2007 (72 FR 44734, 

August 9, 2007). 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain other publication listed in 

this AD as of November 29, 2005 (70 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on December 26, 2012 (77 FR 

75911), and proposed to supersede AD 

2010–14–14, Amendment 39–16359 (75 

FR 42585, July 22, 2010). (AD 2010–14– 

14 superseded AD 2007–16–09, 

Amendment 39–15148 (72 FR 44734, 

August 9, 2007)). AD 2007–16–09 

superseded AD 2005–23–14, 

Amendment 39–14372 (70 FR 69075, 

November 14, 2005). The NPRM 

proposed to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products. The 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information (MCAI) for Embraer S.A. 

Model ERJ 170 airplanes states: 

It has been found the occurrence of an 

engine in-flight shutdown * * * caused by 

the LPCV failure P/N [part number] 1001447– 

3 with 3,900 Flight Hours (FH) installed on 

ERJ–170. This valve failed [to] open due [to] 

excessive wear. [I]t was found the occurrence 

of an engine shutdown on-ground, caused by 

the LPCV failure P/N 1001447–4 with 1,802 

FH installed on ERJ–190 failed due [to] low 

cycle fatigue. Since the behavior of a valve 

P/N 1001447–4 removed from ERJ–190 is 

unknown on ERJ–170 and the P/N 1001447– 

4 is common between ERJ–170 and ERJ–190 

airplane fleet, an action is necessary to 

prevent the installation, in ERJ–170 

airplanes, of LPCVs P/N 1001447–4 

previously installed in ERJ–190 airplanes. 

* * * * * * * 

The MCAI for Embraer S.A. Model 

ERJ 190 airplanes states: 

It has been found the occurrence of an 

engine in-flight shutdown * * * caused by 

the LPCV failure P/N 1001447–3 with 3,900 

Flight Hours (FH) installed on ERJ–170. This 

valve failed [to] open due [to] excessive wear. 

[I]t was found the occurrence of an engine 

shutdown on-ground, caused by the LPCV 

failure P/N 1001447–4 with 1,802 FH 

installed on ERJ–190 failed due [to] low cycle 

fatigue. Since the behavior of a valve P/N 

1001447–4 removed from ERJ–170 is 

unknown on ERJ–190 and the P/N 1001447– 

4 is common between ERJ–170 and ERJ–190 

airplane fleet, an action is necessary to 

prevent the installation, in ERJ–190 

airplanes, of LPCVs P/N 1001447–4 

previously installed in ERJ–170 airplanes. 

* * * * * 

The unsafe condition is the possibility 

of a dual engine in-flight shutdown due 

to LPCV failure. The required actions 

include the actions required by AD 

2010–14–14, Amendment 39–16359 (75 

FR 42585, July 22, 2010), and, for 

certain airplanes, replacing the LPCVs 

of the LH and RH engines, which would 

be an option for certain other airplanes. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

have considered the comment received. 

Request for Clarification of Approved 

Method 

US Airways requested clarification of 

paragraph (l) of the NPRM (77 FR 75911, 

December 26, 2012), which requires 

installing a new LPCV using a method 

approved by either the Manager, 

International Branch, ANM–116, 

Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or 

Ageˆncia Nacional de Aviac ̧a ̃o Civil 

(ANAC) (or its delegated agent). The 

commenter requested clarification of the 

approved method so operators can 

understand acceptable and unacceptable 

methods of installation. The commenter 

also stated that the approved method 

needs to be stated to avoid having to 

obtain approval of an alternative 

method of compliance (AMOC) allowing 

use of certain documents. 

We agree to provide clarification. We 

have reviewed EMBRAER Service 

Bulletins 190–36–0014, Revision 01, 

dated January 14, 2009; 190–LIN–36– 

0004, dated December 23, 2009; and 

170–36–0011, Revision 2, dated July 19, 

2007. Those bulletins provide 

instructions for installing P/N 1001447– 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
39568 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 127 / Tuesday, July 2, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

4; however, they may be used to install 

P/N 1001447–6. We have added 

paragraphs (l)(2) and (m)(2) to this AD 

to provide references for installing P/N 

1001447–6. We have also added note 1 

to paragraph (n) of this AD to provide 

guidance for an optional terminating 

action. Embraer has not published 

installation instructions specifically for 

the P/N 1001447–6 that can be 

incorporated by reference in this AD. 

We will consider approving any 

alternate installation instructions that 

operators propose. 

Clarification of Calculation for 

Equivalent Flight Hours 

We have revised paragraph (k)(4)(ii) of 

this AD to clarify the calculation for 

equivalent flight hours. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 

75911, December 26, 2012) for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 75911, 

December 26, 2012). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

about 253 products of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD:

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 AD will not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

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 that this AD: 

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); 

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in 

Alaska; and 

4. 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains the NPRM (77 FR 75911, 

December 26, 2012), the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES

section.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 747–400, 

–400D, and –400F series airplanes. This 

AD was prompted by reports of two inservice occurrences on Model 737–400 

airplanes of total loss of boost pump 

pressure of the fuel feed system, 

followed by loss of fuel system suction 

feed capability on one engine, and inflight shutdown of the engine. This AD 

requires repetitive operational tests of 

the engine fuel suction feed of the fuel 

system, and other related testing and 

corrective actions if necessary. We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct 

loss of the engine fuel suction feed 

capability of the fuel system, which, in 

the event of total loss of the fuel boost 

pumps, could result in multi-engine 

flameout, inability to restart the engines, 

and consequent forced landing of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective August 6, 

2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of August 6, 2013.
