Background 

The ANAC, which is the aviation 

authority for Brazil, has issued ANAC 

AD 2021–05–01, effective May 14, 2021 

(ANAC AD 2021–05–01) (also referred 

to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Embraer S.A. 

Model ERJ 190–300, and –400 airplanes. 

This AD was prompted by a report of 

premature failures of the ACMP 3A at 

hydraulic system #3 due to excessive 

wear of the ACMP tail bearing. 

Excessive wear, if allowed to progress, 

increases the probability of ACMP 

failures. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address excessive wear of the ACMP tail 

bearing, which could lead to loss of 

hydraulic system #3 and affect the 

electrical power distribution system. 

This condition, in combination with an 

independent failure in one engine, 

could cause loss of control of the 

airplane. See the MCAI for additional 

background information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

ANAC AD 2021–05–01 specifies 

procedures for repetitive replacement of 

the hydraulic system ACMP 3A having 

part number (P/N) 3033041–101 with a 

serviceable part. This material 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. 

FAA’s Determination 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is approved for operation in 

the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI described above. The FAA 

is issuing this AD after determining that 

the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other products of the same type 

design. 

Requirements of This AD 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions specified in ANAC AD 2021– 

05–01 described previously, except for 

any differences identified as exceptions 

in the regulatory text of this AD. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 92 / Thursday, May 12, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 29029 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has been coordinating 

this process with manufacturers and 

CAAs. As a result, ANAC AD 2021–05– 

01 is incorporated by reference in this 

AD. This AD requires compliance with 

ANAC AD 2021–05–01 in its entirety 

through that incorporation, except for 

any differences identified as exceptions 

in the regulatory text of this AD. Service 

information required by ANAC AD 

2021–05–01 for compliance will be 

available at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2022–0466 after this AD is 

published. 

Interim Action 

The FAA considers this AD interim 

action. If final action is later identified, 

the FAA might consider further 

rulemaking then. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

There are currently no domestic 

operators of these products. 

Accordingly, notice and opportunity for 

prior public comment are unnecessary, 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). In 

addition, for the forgoing reason(s), the 

FAA finds that good cause exists 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making 

this amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

The requirements of the RFA do not 

apply when an agency finds good cause 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule 

without prior notice and comment. 

Because the FAA has determined that it 

has good cause to adopt this rule 

without notice and comment, RFA 

analysis is not required. 

Costs of Compliance 

Currently, there are no affected U.S.- 

registered airplanes. If an affected 

airplane is imported and placed on the 

U.S. Register in the future, the FAA 

provides the following cost estimates to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ...................................................................................................................... * $0 $170 

* The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the parts cost estimate. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

or all of the costs of this AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

individuals. The FAA does not control 

warranty coverage for affected 

individuals. As a result, the FAA has 

included all known costs in the 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. 

The FAA is 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 

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, 

and 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020–21– 

06, which applied to certain Airbus SAS 

Model A350–941 and –1041 airplanes. 

AD 2020–21–06 required revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 

2020–21–06, the FAA has determined 

that new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations are necessary. 

This AD retains the requirements of AD 

2020–21–06 and requires revising the 

applicability by adding airplanes. This 

AD also requires revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations, as 

specified in a European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is 

incorporated by reference. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 16, 

2022.
