ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. 

(Embraer) Model EMB–135 airplanes 

and Model EMB–145, –145ER, –145MR, 

–145LR, –145MP, and –145EP airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by a 

report of chafing between the fuel pump 

electrical harness and the fuel pump 

tubing during scheduled maintenance. 

This proposed AD would require a 

detailed inspection for chafing on the 

electrical harness of each electrical fuel 

pump in the fuel tanks, replacing the 

affected electrical fuel pump with a new 

or serviceable pump if necessary, and 

installing clamps on the fuel pump 

electrical harnesses. We are proposing 

this AD to detect and correct chafing of 

the fuel pump harnesses with other 

parts inside the fuel tank, which could 

present a potential ignition source that 

could result in a fire or fuel tank 

explosion. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by October 5, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Discussion 

The Ageˆncia Nacional de Aviac ̧a ̃o 

Civil (ANAC), which is the aviation 

authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian 

Airworthiness Directive 2015–03–01, 

effective March 23, 2015 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Empresa Brasileira de 

Aeronautica S.A. (Embraer) Model 

EMB–135 airplanes and Model EMB– 

145, –145ER, –145MR, –145LR, –145XR, 

–145MP, and –145EP airplanes. The 

MCAI states: 

Chafing between the fuel pump electrical 

harness and fuel pump tubing was detected 

during scheduled maintenance. We are 

issuing this [Brazilian] AD to protect the fuel 

pump harnesses against chafing with other 

parts inside the fuel tank, which could 

present a potential ignition source that could 

result in a fire or fuel tank explosion. 

The required actions include a 

detailed inspection for chafing on the 

electrical harness of each electrical fuel 

pump in the fuel tanks, replacing the 

affected electrical fuel pump with a new 

or serviceable pump if necessary, and 

installing clamps on the fuel pump 

electrical harnesses. You may examine 

the MCAI in the AD docket on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2015–3143. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Embraer has issued Service Bulletin 

145–28–0030, Revision 01, dated 

October 22, 2010; and Service Bulletin 

145LEG–28–0032, Revision 01, dated 

November 20, 2012. The service 

information describes procedures for a 

detailed inspection for chafing on the 

electrical harness of each electrical fuel 

pump in the fuel tanks, replacing the 

affected electrical fuel pump with a new 

or serviceable pump if necessary, and 

installing clamps on the fuel pump 

electrical harnesses. This service 

information is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section of this NPRM. 

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 these same 

type designs. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 731 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 11 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this proposed AD on U.S. operators to 

be $683,485, or $935 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 6 work-hours and require parts 

costing $11,242, for a cost of $11,752 

per product. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these actions. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this proposed AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

individuals. We do not control warranty 

coverage for affected individuals. As a 

result, we have included all costs in our 

cost estimate. 

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. 

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
