Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-16-
08, which applied to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 
LR, -100 IGW, and -100 ECJ airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 
LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. AD 2017-16-08 required revising the 
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to 
incorporate more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD 
requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as 
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations. This AD also adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD 
was prompted by the FAA's determination that new or more restrictive 
airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to 
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective February 3, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of February 3, 
2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of October 
11, 2017 (82 FR 42021, September 6, 2017).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC), 
which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian AD 
2019-05-02, effective May 2, 2019; corrected July 1, 2019 (``Brazilian 
AD

[[Page 71773]]

2019-05-02'') (also referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing 
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe 
condition for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 
ECJ, -100 SR, and -100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 
LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. Model ERJ 190-100SR airplanes are not on 
the U.S. Register; this AD therefore does not include those airplanes 
in the applicability. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the 
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating 
Docket No. FAA-2019-0519.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2017-16-08, Amendment 39-18985 (82 FR 
42021, September 6, 2017) (``AD 2017-16-08''). AD 2017-16-08 applied to 
certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ and -100 
IGW airplanes and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW 
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2019 
(84 FR 32101). The NPRM was prompted by the FAA's determination that 
new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The 
NPRM proposed to require revising the existing maintenance or 
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more 
restrictive airworthiness limitations. The NPRM also proposed to add 
airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address 
fatigue cracking of structural components and to address failure of 
certain system components, which could result in reduced structural 
integrity and system reliability of the airplane. See the MCAI for 
additional background information.

Action Since the NPRM Was Issued

    Since the NPRM was issued ANAC published a correction to Brazilian 
AD 2019-05-02 to clarify that the initial compliance times identified 
as ``Threshold'' or ``T'' in EMBRAER 190/195 Maintenance Review Board 
Report, MRB-1928, Revision 12, dated September 27, 2018 (``EMBRAER 190/
195 MRB-1928, Revision 12''), are expressed in total flight cycles and 
total flight hours. The FAA has revised paragraph (i)(1)(i) of this AD 
to state ``For the purposes of this AD, the initial compliance times 
(identified as `Threshold' or `T' in EMBRAER 190/195 MRB-1928, Revision 
12) are expressed in `total flight cycles' or `total flight hours,' as 
applicable.''

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in 
developing this final rule. The following presents the comment received 
on the NPRM and the FAA's response to that comment.

Request for Credit for Previously Accomplished Actions

    Embraer requested that operators be allowed to substitute the last 
accomplishment of task 53-23-001-0001, which was included in Revision 
11 and earlier of EMBRAER 190/195 MRB-1928, for the initial 
accomplishment of task 53-53-001-0004, which is included in EMBRAER 
190/195 MRB-1928, Revision 12. Embraer justified its request by 
providing a copy of Brazilian AMOC No. 632/2019/GCPR/GGCP/SAR-ANAC, 
dated June 13, 2019. The commenter explained that task 53-23-001-0004 
was created for EMBRAER 190/195 MRB-1928, Revision 12, by splitting an 
existing task from previous revisions of EMBRAER 190/195 MRB-1928 in 
order to increase the interval for certain parts of the task, reducing 
the frequency of access in areas that are difficult to access. In 
EMBRAER 190/195 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1928, Revision 11, 
and earlier, task 53-23-001-0001 included the same inspection as task 
53-23-001-0004. ANAC granted Brazilian AMOC No. 632/2019/GCPR/GGCP/SAR-
ANAC, dated June 13, 2019, to provide credit for a one time 
accomplishment of task 53-23-001-0001 as a substitution for the initial 
accomplishment of task 53-23-001-0004, provided the task was 
accomplished within 5,000 flight cycles since the last accomplishment.
    The FAA agrees with the commenter's request for the reason provided 
and has included Brazilian AMOC No. 632/2019/GCPR/GGCP/SAR-ANAC, dated 
June 13, 2019, in paragraph (k)(1)(iii) of this AD to allow 
accomplishment of task 53-23-001-0001 after the effective date of this 
AD as a substitution for the initial accomplishment of task 53-23-001-
0004, provided this task was accomplished within 5,000 flight cycles 
since it was last accomplished.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment 
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest 
require adopting this final rule with the change described previously 
and minor editorial changes. The FAA determined that these minor 
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM.
    The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the 
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final 
rule.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 107 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD.
    The actions that are required by AD 2017-16-08 and retained in this 
final rule take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate 
of $85 per work hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product. Based 
on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that were required 
by AD 2017-16-08 is $85 per product.
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or 
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, 
although the agency

[[Page 71774]]

recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator. In the 
past, the FAA has estimated that this action takes 1 work-hour per 
airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program 
changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-
operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. 
Therefore, the FAA estimates the total cost per operator to be $7,650 
(90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the 
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by 
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is 
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but 
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the 
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and 
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.
