Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 airplanes; 

and all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190– 

100 STD, –100 LR, –100 IGW, –200 

STD, –200 LR, and –200 IGW airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

reports of cracks in certain engine lowstage bleed check valves. This proposed 

AD would require replacing the air 

management system (AMS) controller 

operation program of the AMS 

controller processor boards, and 

replacement of the current low-stage 

bleed check valve and associated seals. 

We are proposing this AD to prevent 

failure of the low-stage bleed check 

valve, which could result in dual engine 

in-flight shutdown. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by January 14, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR

Discussion 

The Ageˆncia Nacional de Aviac ̧a ̃o 

Civil (ANAC), which is the aviation 

authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian 

Airworthiness Directive 2015–02–02, 

dated March 6, 2015 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190–100 

STD, –100 LR, –100 IGW, –200 STD, 

–200 LR, and –200 IGW airplanes. The 

MCAI states: 


jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 229 / Monday, November 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules 74721 

This [Brazilian] AD was prompted by 

reports of cracks in some engine low-stage 

bleed check valves having part number (P[/ 

]N) 1001447–6. Further analysis has 

determined that if a new (zero hour) lowstage bleed check valve P/N 1001447–6 is 

installed in an airplane already equipped 

with the Air Management System (AMS) 

controller processor boards containing the 

AMS Controller Operational Program version 

Black Label 13, or a later version, premature 

cracking on the petals of the low-stage bleed 

check valve is not expected to occur. We are 

issuing this [Brazilian] AD to prevent the 

possibility of a dual engine in-flight 

shutdown due to low-stage bleed check valve 

failure. 

The required action is replacement of 

the AMS controller operation program 

of the AMS controller processor boards, 

and replacement of the low-stage bleed 

check valves and associated seals. 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– 

6542. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Embraer has issued Service Bulletin 

190–36–0023, Revision 03, dated 

September 24, 2014, which describes 

procedures for replacing the engine lowstage bleed check valves. Embraer has 

also issued Service Bulletin 190–21– 

0041, Revision 02, dated July 30, 2013, 

which describe procedures for replacing 

the AMS controller operation program 

of the AMS controller processor boards. 

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. 

Differences Between the MCAI and This 

Proposed AD 

The applicability of paragraph (g) of 

this proposed AD is limited to airplanes 

identified in Embraer Service Bulletin 

190–21–0041, Revision 02, dated July 

30, 2013. The MCAI did not include this 

limitation. We have included this 

limitation because Model ERJ 190 

airplanes with serial number (S/N) 

19000587, S/N 19000589, S/N 19000593 

and subsequent have a modification 

incorporated at the factory equivalent to 

the modification required by this AD. 

Also, this proposed AD includes all 

Embraer S.A. 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, 

because of an additional proposed 

requirement in paragraph (j)(1) of this 

AD, which is related to installation of 

used low-stage bleed check valves 

having P/N 001447–6 on Model ERJ 170 

airplanes. ANAC is considering future 

rulemaking to include a similar 

requirement. 

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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 197 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 4 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 $638 per 

product. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this proposed AD on 

U.S. operators to be $192,666, or $978 

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.
