SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) 
for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory 
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an airworthiness 
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe 
condition on an aviation product. The earlier MCAI, Brazilian 
Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-02, effective September 27, 2007, 
describes the unsafe condition as:

    Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-
88 (Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special 
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new 
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control 
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL), 
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel system. * * *

    The new MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03, 
effective August 20, 2009, describes the unsafe condition as:

    An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal 
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ``RBHA Especial 
N[uacute]mero 88'' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional maintenance 
and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain the design 
features required to preclude the existence or development of an 
ignition source within the fuel tanks of the airplane.

    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe 
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 9, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 9, 
2010.
    On July 30, 2008 (73 FR 35904, June 25, 2008), the Director of the 
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain 
publication listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified 
products. That supplemental NPRM was published in the Federal Register 
on March 23, 2010 (75 FR 13689), and proposed to supersede AD 2008-13-
14, Amendment 39-15577 (73 FR 35904, June 25, 2008). That NPRM proposed 
to require revision of the airworthiness limitations section of the 
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new limitations 
for fuel tank systems. The earlier MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness 
Directive 2007-08-02, effective September 27, 2007, describes the 
unsafe condition as:

    Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-
88 (Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special 
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new 
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control 
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL), 
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel system. * * *

    The new MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03, 
effective August 20, 2009, describes the unsafe condition as:

    An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal 
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ``RBHA Especial 
N[uacute]mero 88'' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional maintenance 
and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain the design 
features required to preclude the existence or development of an 
ignition source within the fuel tanks of the airplane.

    The corrective action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations 
Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to 
incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems. You may obtain 
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request To Allow Service Bulletin for Compliance

    ExpressJet Airlines and EMBRAER request that we revise the 
supplemental NPRM to consider Parker Service Bulletin 367-934-28-110, 
Revision A, dated December 19, 2006, as documentation for past 
compliance with the inspections and functional checks of the safe-life 
features.
    ExpressJet reports that, since early 2007, Parker has been 
referencing this service bulletin (by marking the inspected units with 
the service bulletin number and date of accomplishment) to show 
compliance with these inspections.
    EMBRAER notes that the fuel conditioning unit (FCU) and the ventral 
fuel conditioning unit (VFCU) are manufactured by Parker. To clarify 
which checks and inspections are to be performed on the FCU and VFCU, 
and ensure that the safe-life features are maintained, Parker has 
published Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs) 28-41-36, Revision 4, 
dated March 13, 2009; 28-41-69, Revision 2, dated March 13, 2009; and 
28-41-80, dated April 3, 2009. Parker also issued Test Manual (TM) 
4213-025, ``Identicallity of Testing Performed--EMB-145 FCU CMM 28-41-
XX/Service Bulletin 367-934-28-110 for EMB-145 FAMILY--Fuel 
Conditioning Units,'' Revision A, dated October 13, 2009. EMBRAER 
states that the purpose of the TM is to describe the identicality of 
the testing performed on EMB-145 FCUs returned under the current 
service bulletin to the CMMs. The TM substantiates that all CUs already 
in compliance with the 10,000-flight-hour inspection in accordance with 
Parker Service Bulletin 367-934-28-110 have had the equivalent 
inspection to the safe-life testing required in the CMMs. EMBRAER 
reports that, when an FCU is returned to the field after having the 
service bulletin incorporated, the unit is returned to the customer 
with an FAA 8130-3 tag indicating that Parker Service Bulletin 367-934-
28-110 was accomplished, and the FCU is also marked accordingly.
    We agree with the request and the commenters' rationale. We have 
added a provision to this AD to consider FCUs inspected by Parker and 
marked with the service bulletin number and the date of accomplishment 
to be in compliance with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this 
AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these 
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or 
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in 
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it 
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the 
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable in a U.S. court of 
law. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively

[[Page 47186]]

from the information provided in the MCAI and related service 
information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those 
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences 
are described in a separate paragraph of the AD. These requirements, if 
any, take precedence over the actions copied from the MCAI.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD affects 
about 41 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2008-13-14 and retained in this 
AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 
per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the 
currently required actions is $85 per product.
    We estimate that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to comply 
with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is 
$85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the 
AD on U.S. operators to be $3,485, or $85 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 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 DOT Regulatory Policies and 
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to 
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD Docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation, 
any comments received, and other information. The street address for 
the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the 
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly 
after receipt.

1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15577 (73 FR 
35904, June 25, 2008) and adding the following new AD:

2010-16-01 Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER): 
Amendment 39-16377. Docket No. FAA-2008-1079; Directorate Identifier 
2008-NM-116-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective 
September 9, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2008-13-14, Amendment 39-15577.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to 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; certificated in any category; except for Model EMB-145LR 
airplanes modified according to Brazilian Supplemental Type 
Certificate 2002S06-09, 2002S06-10, or 2003S08-01.

    Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator 
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with 
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes 
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the 
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able 
to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this 
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must 
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according 
to paragraph (h) of this AD. The request should include a 
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure 
the continued operational safety of the airplane.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI), 
Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-02, effective September 
27, 2007, states:
    Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-
88 (Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special 
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new 
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control 
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL), 
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel system. * * *
    The MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03, 
effective August 20, 2009, states:
    An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal 
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ``RBHA Especial 
N[uacute]mero 88'' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional maintenance 
and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain the design 
features required to preclude the existence or development of an 
ignition source within the fuel tanks of the airplane.
    The corrective action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations 
Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) 
to incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2008-13-14

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.

    (2) After accomplishing the actions specified in paragraphs 
(g)(1) of this AD, no alternative inspections or inspection 
intervals may be used unless the inspections or intervals are 
approved as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in 
paragraph (h)(1) of this AD.

Explanation of CDCCL Requirements

    Note 2: Notwithstanding any other maintenance or operational 
requirements, components that have been identified as airworthy or 
installed on the affected airplanes before the revision of the ALS 
of the ICA, as required by paragraph (f)(3) of this AD, do not need 
to be reworked in accordance with the CDCCLs. However, once the ALS 
of the ICA has been revised, future maintenance actions on these 
components must be done in accordance with the CDCCLs.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 3: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information 
as follows:
    (1) The applicability of Brazilian AD 2009-08-03, effective 
August 20, 2009, includes Model EMB-135BJ airplanes. This AD does 
not include that model because that model is included in the 
applicability of FAA AD 2008-13-15, Amendment 39-15578. We are 
considering further rulemaking to revise AD 2008-13-15.
    (2) Although Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03, 
effective August 20, 2009, specifies both revising the airworthiness 
limitations and repetitively inspecting, this AD only requires the 
revision. Requiring a revision of the airworthiness limitations, 
rather than requiring individual repetitive inspections, requires 
operators to record AD compliance status only at the time they make 
the revision, rather than after every inspection. Repetitive 
inspections specified in the airworthiness limitations must be 
complied with in accordance with 14 CFR 91.403(c).

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (h) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, 
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, has the authority to approve 
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 
39.19. Send information to ATTN: Todd Thompson, Aerospace Engineer, 
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 
1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98057-3356; telephone 425-
227-1175; fax (425) 227-1149. Before using any approved AMOC on any 
airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your principal 
maintenance inspector (PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI), 
as appropriate, or lacking a principal inspector, your local Flight 
Standards District Office. The AMOC approval letter must 
specifically reference this AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain 
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these 
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered 
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority 
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product 
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in 
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
approved the information collection requirements and has assigned 
OMB Control Number 2120-0056.
