Background 

ANAC, which is the aviation 

authority for Brazil, has issued ANAC 

AD 2021–11–01R1, effective January 21, 

2022 (ANAC AD 2021–11–01R1) (also 

referred to as the MCAI), to correct an 

unsafe condition for certain Embraer 

S.A. Model EMB–545 and EMB–550 

airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a report that there is a possibility of the 

shoulder belt getting stuck during flight 

due to a step between the divan shroud 

chamfer and the sideledge panel. This 

set up may interfere with the correct 

kinematics of the shoulder belt during 

its retraction. The FAA is proposing this 

AD to address the possibility of a stuck 

shoulder belt during flight, which could 

affect the shoulder belt release during 

turbulence or an emergency landing 

situation and result in injury to 

passengers and the flightcrew. See the 

MCAI for additional background 

information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

ANAC AD 2021–11–01R1 specifies 

procedures for installing, on the rightand left-hand side divan, a protective 

fairing covering on the divan shroud 

and the sideledge panel. 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 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with the State 

of Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA 

is issuing this NPRM after determining 

that the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

in other products of these same type 

designs. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

ANAC AD 2021–11–01R1 described 

previously, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed 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) 

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, the FAA proposes to 

incorporate ANAC AD 2021–11–01R1 

by reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with ANAC AD 2021–11– 

01R1 in its entirety through that 

incorporation, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

Service information required by ANAC 

AD 2021–11–01R1 for compliance will 

be available at https://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2022– 

0873 after the FAA final rule is 

published. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD would affect 63 airplanes of U.S. 

registry. The FAA estimates the 

following costs to comply with this 

proposed AD: 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 13, 2022 / Proposed Rules 41631 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

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

operators 

Up to 14 work-hours × $85 per hour = Up to $1,190 .............. $400 Up to $1,590 ........................... Up to $100,170. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

or all of the costs of this proposed AD 

may be covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

operators. The FAA does not control 

warranty coverage for affected operators. 

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 

The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of the airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it expands the 

availability of RNAV routes in the 

National Airspace System, increases 

airspace capacity, and reduces 

complexity in high air traffic volume 

areas. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views, 

or arguments as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to modify Q–81 in the 

southeastern United States, and 

removing Canadian route Q–947 in the 

northeastern United States. 

Q–81: Q–81 currently extends from 

the TUNSL, FL., waypoint (WP), to the 

HONID, GA, WP. This proposal would 

amend the current route segments 

between the FIPES, OG, WP and the 

FARLU, FL, WP, by removing the 

THMPR, FL, WP and the LEEHI, FL, 

WP, and inserting the ZEILR, FL, Fix, 

and the PIKKR, OG, WP. The effect of 

this change would be to realign the track
