11517, 11518, and 11527. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 28: Fuel. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports that the 

fuel-balance transfer-valve (FBTV) was 

inadvertently reactivated after required deactivation measures were undone. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent fuel starvation and 

consequently a double-engine flameout, 

possibly resulting in a forced landing, 

damage to the airplane, and injury to 

occupants. 

(f) Compliance 

You are responsible for having the actions 

required by this AD performed within the 

compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(g) Retained Installation of a Locking Device 

for the FBTV 

This paragraph restates the requirements of 

paragraph (a) of AD 94–14–05, Amendment 

39–8957 (59 FR 35237, July 11, 1994). For 

airplanes having serial numbers 11443, 

11446 through 11449 inclusive, and 11456: 

Within 30 days after August 10, 1994 (the 

effective date of AD 94–14–05), remove the 

actuator from the fuel-balance transfer-valve, 

part number (P/N) 7933141J and install a 

locking device on the fuel-balance transfervalve, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin SBF100–28–029, Revision 1, 

dated November 30, 1993. 

(h) Retained Inspection and Deactivation 

(1) This paragraph restates the 

requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of AD 

96–07–06, Amendment 39–9555 (61 FR 

14014, March 29, 1996). For airplanes 

identified in Fokker Service Bulletin 

SBF100–28–030, Revision 1, dated December 

5, 1994: After April 29, 1996 (the effective 

date of AD 96–07–06), whenever the fuel 

balance transfer system (FBTS) is used 

during maintenance, prior to further flight, 

perform an inspection to verify that the 

position indicator of the FBTV is in the 

closed position, in accordance with Fokker 

Service Bulletin SBF100–28–030, Revision 1, 

dated December 5, 1994. The inspection 

requirements of this paragraph must be 

accomplished until the deactivation required 

by paragraph (h)(2) of this AD is 

accomplished. 

(i) If the position indicator is in the closed 

position, no further action is required by this 

paragraph. 

(ii) If the position indicator is in the open 

position, close the FBTV, in accordance with 

the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin SBF100–28–030, Revision 1, 

dated December 5, 1994. 

(2) Within 90 days after April 29, 1996 (the 

effective date of AD 96–07–06, Amendment 

39–9555 (61 FR 14014, March 29, 1996)), 

deactivate the FBTS in accordance with 

either Part 2 or Part 3, as applicable, of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin SBF100–28–030, Revision 1, 

dated December 5, 1994. Accomplishment of 

the deactivation constitutes terminating 

action for the repetitive inspection 

requirements of paragraph (h)(1) of this AD. 

(i) New Requirements of This AD 

Within 12 months after the effective date 

of this AD, modify the airplane by installing 

an FBTV locking device, in accordance with 

the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin SBF100–28–066, dated June

Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) 

that applies to all Model ERJ 190–100 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2012 / Proposed Rules 33335 

STD, –100 LR, and –100 IGW airplanes; 

and Model ERJ 190–200 STD, –200 LR, 

and –200 IGW airplanes. The existing 

AD currently requires revising the 

maintenance program to incorporate 

modifications in the Airworthiness 

Limitation Section (ALS) of the Embraer 

S.A. ERJ 190 Maintenance Review Board 

Report (MRBR). Since we issued that 

AD, new inspection tasks and their 

respective thresholds and intervals have 

been issued. This proposed AD would 

require revising the maintenance 

program to incorporate modifications in 

the Airworthiness Limitation Section 

(ALS) of the Embraer S.A. ERJ 190 

Maintenance Review Board Report 

(MRBR) to include new inspection tasks 

and their respective thresholds and 

intervals. We are proposing this AD 

since failure to inspect these structural 

components according to the new ALS 

tasks, thresholds, and intervals could 

prevent a timely detection of fatigue 

cracking, which if not properly 

addressed, could result in reduced 

structural integrity of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 23, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to

Discussion 

On May 13, 2010, we issued AD 

2010–11–14, Amendment 39–16319 (75 

FR 30277, June 1, 2010). That AD 

required actions intended to address an 

unsafe condition on the products listed 

above. 

Since we issued AD 2010–11–14, 

Amendment 39–16319 (75 FR 30277, 

June 1, 2010), the Ageˆncia Nacional de 

Aviac ̧a ̃o Civil (ANAC), which is the 

airworthiness authority for Brazil, has 

issued Brazilian Airworthiness 

Directives 2010–08–03, dated 

September 20, 2010, and 2011–05–04, 

dated June 16, 2011 (referred to after 

this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

During the airplane full scale fatigue test, 

cracks were found in some structural 

components of the airplane. Analysis of these 

cracks resulted in modifications on the 

Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS) of 

Embraer ERJ 190 Maintenance Review Board 

Report (MRBR), to include new inspections 

tasks and its respective thresholds and 

intervals. 

Failure to inspect these structural 

components, according to the new tasks, 

thresholds and intervals, could prevent a 

timely detection of fatigue cracking. These 

cracks, if not properly addressed, could 

adversely affect the structural integrity of the 

airplane. 

Since this condition may occur in other 

airplanes of the same type and affects flight 

safety, a corrective action is required. Thus, 

sufficient reason exists to request compliance 

with this [ANAC] AD in the indicated time 

limit. 

The required action is revising the 

maintenance program to incorporate 

new structural inspection requirements. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Embraer S.A. has issued Part 2— 

Airworthiness Limitation Inspections 

(ALI)—Structures, of Appendix A, 

Airworthiness Limitations (AL), of the 

EMBRAER 190 Maintenance Review 

Board Report, MRB–1928, Revision 5, 

dated November 11, 2010; and 

Temporary Revision (TR) 5–1, dated 

February 11, 2011, to Part 2— 

Airworthiness Limitation Inspections 

(ALI)—Structures, of Appendix A, 

Airworthiness Limitations (AL), of the 

EMBRAER 190 Maintenance Review 

Board Report, MRB–1928, Revision 5, 

dated November 11, 2010. 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. 

Correction To Restate Table 1 of AD 

2010–11–14, Amendment 39–16319 (75 

FR 30277, June 1, 2010) 

Table 1 of AD 2010–11–14, 

Amendment 39–16319 (75 FR 30277, 

June 1, 2010), contains a reference to 

EMBRAER Temporary Revision (TR) 2– 

6, dated December 12, 2008, to Part 2— 

Airworthiness Limitation Inspections 

(ALI)—Structures, of Appendix A, 

Airworthiness Limitations (AL), of the 

EMBRAER 190 Maintenance Review 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

33336 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2012 / Proposed Rules 

Board Report, MRB–1928. We have 

determined that the correct date for that 

TR should be February 12, 2008. That 

information is reflected in table 1 of this 

proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 88 products of U.S. registry. 

The actions that are required by AD 

2010–11–14, Amendment 39–16319 (75 

FR 30277, June 1, 2010), and retained in 

this proposed AD take about 1 workhour per product, at an average labor 

rate of $85 per work hour. Based on 

these figures, the estimated cost of the 

currently required actions is $85 per 

product. 

We estimate that it would take about 

1 work-hour per product to comply with 

the new basic requirements of this 

proposed AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per work-hour. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of the 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$7,480, or $85 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); 

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 proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

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 

removing airworthiness directive (AD) 

2010–11–14, Amendment 39–16319 (75 

FR 30277, June 1, 2010), and adding the 

following new AD: 

Embraer S.A.: Docket No. FAA–2012–0590; 

Directorate Identifier 2011–NM–112–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by July 23, 

2012. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD supersedes AD 2010–11–14, 

Amendment 39–16319 (75 FR 30277, June 1, 

2010). 

(c) Applicability 

(1) This AD applies to Embraer S.A. Model 

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

airplanes; and Model ERJ 190–200 STD, –200 

LR, and –200 IGW airplanes; certificated in 

any category; all serial numbers. 

(2) This AD requires revisions to certain 

operator maintenance documents to include 

new actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance 

with these actions is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired in 

the areas addressed by this AD, the operator 

may not be able to accomplish the actions 

described in the revisions. In this situation, 

to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the 

operator must request approval of an 

alternative method of compliance (AMOC) 

according to paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. The 

request should include a description of 

changes to the required actions that will 

ensure the continued operational safety of 

the airplane. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 52, Doors; 53, Fuselage; 54, 

Nacelles/Pylons; 55, Stabilizers; 57, Wings; 

71, Powerplant; and 78, Engine Exhaust. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports of cracks 

in some of the structural components of the 

airplane. We are issuing this AD since failure 

to inspect these structural components 

according to the new ALS tasks, thresholds, 

and intervals could prevent a timely 

detection of fatigue cracking, which if not 

properly addressed, could result in reduced 

structural integrity of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

You are responsible for having the actions 

required by this AD performed within the 

compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(g) Restated Actions and Compliance 

This paragraph restates the actions 

required by paragraph (f) of AD 2010–11–14, 

Amendment 39 16319 (75 FR 30277, June 1, 

2010). 

(1) Within 90 days after July 6, 2010 (the 

effective date of AD 2010–11–14, 

Amendment 39–16319 (75 FR 30277, June 1, 

2010)), revise the Airworthiness Limitation 

Section (ALS) of the Instructions for 

Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to include 

the tasks specified in table 1 of this AD. 

These tasks are identified in EMBRAER 

Temporary Revision (TR) 2–5, dated 

December 6, 2007; and EMBRAER TR 2–6, 

dated February 12, 2008; to Appendix A, Part 

2, Airworthiness Limitation Inspections 

(ALI)—Structures, of the EMBRAER 190 

Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR), 

MRB–1928. 

Note 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD: The 

actions required by paragraph (g)(1) of this 

AD may be done by inserting a copy of 

EMBRAER TR 2–5 and TR 2–6 into the ALS 

of the EMBRAER 190 MRBR, MRB–1928. 

When these TRs have been included in 

general revisions of the EMBRAER 190 

MRBR, MRB–1928, the general revisions may 

be inserted, provided the relevant 

information in the general revision is 

identical to that in EMBRAER TR 2–5 and TR 

2–6, and these TRs may be removed.
