SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. 

(EMBRAER) Model EMB–135ER, 

–135KE, –135KL, and –135LR airplanes; 

and Model EMB–145, –145ER, –145MR, 

–145LR, –145XR, –145MP, and –145EP 

airplanes. This AD requires repetitive 

detailed inspections to detect 

discrepancies on the attaching parts of 

the lower eyelet fitting of the cockpit 

windshield center-post, and, if no 

discrepancy is found, a check to make 

sure the bolts are tight, and replacement 

of the attaching parts if necessary. This 

AD also provides an option to 

accomplish the replacement of the 

attaching parts, which terminates the 

repetitive inspections. This AD was 

prompted by reports of failure of the 

bolts that connect the lower eyelet 

fitting of the cockpit windshield centerpost to the forward fuselage. We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct 

failed bolts and attaching parts of the 

lower eyelet fitting of the cockpit 

windshield center-post, which could 

lead to loss of structural integrity of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

November 20, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The Ageˆncia Nacional de Aviac ̧a ̃o 

Civil (ANAC), which is the aviation 

authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian 

Emergency Airworthiness Directive 

2013–10–01, effective October 3, 2013 

(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to 

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

This [Brazilian] EAD [emergency AD] was 

prompted by reports of failure of the bolts 

that connect the lower eyelet fitting of the 

cockpit windshield center-post to the 

forward fuselage. We are issuing this EAD to 

detect failed bolts and correct the attaching 

parts of the lower eyelet fitting of the cockpit 

windshield center-post, which could lead to 

loss of structural integrity of the airplane. 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 5, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 66259 

Required actions include repetitive 

detailed inspections to detect 

discrepancies on the attaching parts of 

the lower eyelet fitting of the cockpit 

windshield center-post, and if no 

discrepancy is found, a check to make 

sure the bolts are tight, and replacement 

of the attaching parts if necessary. This 

AD also provides an option to replace 

the attaching parts, which terminates 

the repetitive inspections. The 

replacement includes doing a general 

visual inspection for damage on the 

eyelet fitting if any discrepancy is found 

in any bolts and repair if necessary. You 

may examine the MCAI on the Internet 

at http://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating it in Docket 

No. FAA–2013–0868. 

Relevant Service Information 

Embraer has issued Service Bulletin 

145–53–0082, dated October 18, 2013. 

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 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 issuing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

In many FAA transport ADs, when 

the service information specifies to 

contact the manufacturer for further 

instructions if certain discrepancies are 

found, we typically include in the AD 

a requirement to accomplish the action 

using a method approved by either the 

FAA or the State of Design Authority (or 

its delegated agent). 

We have recently been notified that 

certain laws in other countries do not 

allow such delegation of authority, but 

some countries do recognize design 

approval organizations. In addition, we 

have become aware that some U.S. 

operators have used repair instructions 

that were previously approved by a 

State of Design Authority or a Design 

Approval Holder (DAH) as a method of 

compliance with this provision in FAA 

ADs. Frequently, in these cases, the 

previously approved repair instructions 

come from the airplane structural repair 

manual or the DAH repair approval 

statements that were not specifically 

developed to address the unsafe 

condition corrected by the AD. Using 

repair instructions that were not 

specifically approved for a particular 

AD creates the potential for doing 

repairs that were not developed to 

address the unsafe condition identified 

by the MCAI AD, the FAA AD, or the 

applicable service information, which 

could result in the unsafe condition not 

being fully corrected. 

To prevent the use of repairs that 

were not specifically developed to 

correct the unsafe condition, this AD 

requires that the repair approval 

specifically refer to this FAA AD. This 

change is intended to clarify the method 

of compliance and to provide operators 

with better visibility of repairs that are 

specifically developed and approved to 

correct the unsafe condition. In 

addition, we use the phrase ‘‘its 

delegated agent, or by the DAH with 

State of Design Authority design 

organization approval, as applicable’’ in 

this AD to refer to an DAH authorized 

to approve required repairs for this AD. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

The MCAI includes a requirement to 

replace the attaching parts of the lower 

eyelet fitting of the cockpit windshield 

center-post within 6,000 flight cycles. 

However, the planned compliance time 

for the replacement would allow enough 

time to provide notice and opportunity 

for prior public comment on the merits 

of the replacement. Therefore, we have 

included that action as an optional 

action in paragraph (i) of this AD, which 

will terminate the inspections required 

by this AD. We might propose further 

rulemaking to require the replacement. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because failed bolts and attaching 

parts of the lower eyelet fitting of the 

cockpit windshield center-post could 

lead to loss of structural integrity of the 

airplane. Therefore, we determined that 

notice and opportunity for public 

comment before issuing this AD are 

impracticable and that good cause exists 

for making this amendment effective in 

fewer than 30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not precede it by notice and 

opportunity for public comment. We 

invite you to send any written relevant 

data, views, or arguments about this AD. 

Send your comments to an address 

listed under the ADDRESSES section. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2013–0868; 

Directorate Identifier 2013–NM–194– 

AD’’ at the beginning of your comments. 

We specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 624 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators 

Inspections/Checks ................ 3 work-hours × $85 per hour 

= $255 per inspection cycle.

$0 $255 per inspection cycle ...... $159,120 per inspection 

cycle. 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacements that would 

be required based on the results of the 

inspections/checks. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these replacements:

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.
