AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

the products listed above. This 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 earlier MCAI, Brazilian 

Airworthiness Directive 2007–08–01, 

effective September 27, 2007, describes 

the unsafe condition as: 

Fuel system reassessment, performed 

according to RBHA–E88/SFAR–88 

(Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao 

Aeronautica 88/Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of 

new maintenance tasks in the Critical Design 

Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL) 

and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL), 

necessary to preclude ignition sources in the 

fuel system. * * * 

The new MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness 

Directive 2009–08–03, effective August 

20, 2009, describes the unsafe condition 

as: 

An airplane fuel tank systems review 

required by Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ‘‘RBHA 

Especial Nu ́mero 88’’ (RBHA E 88) has shown 

that additional maintenance and inspection 

instructions are necessary to maintain the 

design features required to preclude the 

existence or development of an ignition 

source within the fuel tanks of the airplane. 

* * * * * 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

February 9, 2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of February 9, 2011. 

On July 30, 2008 (73 FR 35908, June 

25, 2008), the Director of the Federal 

Register approved the incorporation by 

reference of certain other publications 

listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 

14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that 

would apply to the specified products. 

That supplemental NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 23, 2010 (75 FR 13684), and 

proposed to supersede AD 2008–13–15, 

Amendment 39–15578 (73 FR 35908, 

June 25, 2008). That supplemental 

NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2007– 

08–01, effective September 27, 2007, 

describes the unsafe condition as: 

Fuel system reassessment, performed 

according to RBHA–E88/SFAR–88 

(Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao 

Aeronautica 88/Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of 

new maintenance tasks in the Critical Design 

Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL) 

and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL), 

necessary to preclude ignition sources in the 

fuel system. * * * 

Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009– 

08–03, effective August 20, 2009, 

describes the unsafe condition as: 

An airplane fuel tank systems review 

required by Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ‘‘RBHA 

Especial Nu ́mero 88’’ (RBHA E 88) has shown 

that additional maintenance and inspection 

instructions are necessary to maintain the 

design features required to preclude the 

existence or development of an ignition 

source within the fuel tanks of the airplane. 

* * * * * 

The corrective action is revising the 

Airworthiness Limitations Section 

(ALS) of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness (ICA) to incorporate new 

limitations for fuel tank systems. 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 

considered the comment received. 

Request To Consider Additional Service 

Information 

The commenter, EMBRAER, 

requested that we revise the 

supplemental NPRM to include Parker 

Service Bulletin 367–934–28–110, 

Revision A, dated December 19, 2006, as 

acceptable for compliance with the 

proposed requirements. Parker makes 

the fuel conditioning unit (FCU) and 

ventral fuel conditioning unit (VFCU). 

Parker revised certain references within 

that service bulletin, clarifying all 

checks and inspections to be performed 

on the FCU and/or FVCU to ensure that 

the ‘‘safe life’’ features are maintained. 

Parker also published certain data 

substantiating that CUs in compliance 

with the 10,000-flight-hour inspection 

in accordance with Parker Service 

Bulletin 367–934–28–110, Revision A, 

dated December 19, 2006, have had the 

equivalent inspection to the safe-life 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES

438 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 5, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

testing required in the recently updated 

references. When an FCU is returned to 

the field after having that service 

bulletin incorporated, the unit is 

returned to the customer with an FAA 

8130–3 tag indicating that the service 

bulletin was done, and the FCU is also 

marked to indicate that service bulletin. 

We agree with the request and the 

commenter’s rationale. We have added 

a provision to paragraph (g)(1) of this 

AD to consider FCUs inspected by 

Parker and marked with Parker Service 

Bulletin 367–934–28–110 and the date 

of accomplishment to be in compliance 

with the requirements of paragraph 

(g)(1) of this AD. We have also revised 

the previous NPRM by removing 

paragraph (1) of Note 3, which implied 

that the Parker service bulletin was not 

acceptable for compliance. 

Additional Change to Supplemental 

NPRM 

We have revised paragraph (g)(1) and 

added new Note 2 in this final rule to 

clarify the requirements to incorporate 

new limitations for fuel tank systems. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We determined that these changes will 

not increase the economic burden on 

any operator or increase the scope of the 

AD. 

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 required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow our FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a NOTE within the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this AD affects about 43 

products of U.S. registry. 

The actions that are required by AD 

2008–13–15 and retained in this AD 

take about 1 work-hour 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 takes about 1 

work-hour per product to comply with 

the new basic requirements of this AD. 

The average labor rate is $85 per workhour. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of the new 

requirements on U.S. operators to be 

$3,655, 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 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 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); 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 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, 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. Comments will be available in 

the AD docket shortly after receipt.

Adoption of the Amendment 

■ Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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 Amendment 39–15578 (73 FR 

35908, June 25, 2008) and adding the 

following new AD: 

2011–01–01 Empresa Brasileira de 

Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER): 

Amendment 39–16554. Docket No. 

FAA–2008–1080; Directorate Identifier 

2008–NM–118–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective February 9, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) This AD supersedes AD 2008–13–15, 

Amendment 39–15578. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all Empresa 

Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) 

Model EMB–135BJ airplanes, certificated in 

any category. 

Note 1: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include new inspections. Compliance with 

these inspections is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired in 

the areas addressed by these inspections, the 

operator may not be able to accomplish the 

inspections described in the revisions. In this 

situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), 

the operator must request approval for an 

alternative method of compliance according 

to paragraph (h)(1) of this AD. The request 

should include a description of changes to 

the required inspections that will ensure the 

continued operational safety of the airplane.

An airplane fuel tank systems review 

required by Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ‘‘RBHA 

Especial Nu ́mero 88’’ (RBHA E 88) has shown 

that additional maintenance and inspection 

instructions are necessary to maintain the 

design features required to preclude the 

existence or development of an ignition 

source within the fuel tanks of the airplane. 

* * * * * 

The corrective action is revising the

(f)(2), and (g)(1) of this AD, do not need to 

be reworked in accordance with the CDCCLs. 

However, once the ALS of the ICA has been 

revised, future maintenance actions on these 

components must be done in accordance 

with the CDCCLs. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 4: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: 

(1) The applicability of Brazilian 

Airworthiness Directive 2009–08–03, 

effective August 20, 2009, includes models 

other than Model EMB–135BJ airplanes. 

However, this AD does not include those 

other models. Those models are included in 

the applicability of FAA AD 2008–13–14, 

Amendment 39–15577. We are considering 

further rulemaking to revise AD 2008–13–14. 

(2) Although Brazilian Airworthiness 

Directive 2009–08–03, effective August 20, 

2009, specifies both revising the 

airworthiness limitations and repetitively 

inspecting, this AD only requires the 

revision. Requiring a revision of the 

airworthiness limitations, rather than 

requiring individual repetitive inspections, 

requires operators to record AD compliance 

status only at the time they make the 

revision, rather than after every inspection. 

Repetitive inspections specified in the 

airworthiness limitations must be complied 

with in accordance with 14 CFR 91.403(c). 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(h) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 5, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 441 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

Send information to ATTN: Todd Thompson, 

Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, 

ANM–116, Transport Airplane Directorate, 

FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, 

Washington 98057–3356; telephone (425) 

227–1175; 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 FAAapproved 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: A federal 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

person is not required to respond to, nor 

shall a person be subject to a penalty for 

failure to comply with a collection of 

information subject to the requirements of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that 

collection of information displays a current 

valid OMB Control Number. The OMB 

Control Number for this information 

collection is 2120–0056. Public reporting for 

this collection of information is estimated to 

be approximately 5 minutes per response, 

including the time for reviewing instructions, 

completing and reviewing the collection of 

information. All responses to this collection 

of information are mandatory. Comments 

concerning the accuracy of this burden and 

suggestions for reducing the burden should 

be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence 

Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591, Attn: 

Information Collection Clearance Officer, 

AES–200.
