Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. 
(Embraer) Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 
Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 
STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. This AD requires, for certain 
airplanes, retorquing and replacing the pylon outboard and inboard 
lower link fittings. For all airplanes, this AD requires repetitive 
retorquing of the pylon outboard and inboard lower link fittings. This 
AD was prompted by a report of a loose lower link assembly on the left 
and right pylons. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of a shear pin 
on the pylon outboard and inboard lower link fittings, which could 
result in failure of the fitting and consequent separation of the 
engine from the wing.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 2, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 2, 
2014.
    We must receive comments on this AD by September 29, 2014.

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 
Airworthiness Directive 2014-07-01, dated July 10, 2014 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on all Embraer S.A. Model 
ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -
200 IGW airplanes. The MCAI states:

    It has been found that repetitive tightening torque check 
required by EAD 2014-06-02--EMBRAER S.A./39-1383 may not be 
sufficient to prevent the lower inboard and outboard link fitting 
attaching parts, of the left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) pylon, 
from getting loose which could lead to the failure of one of those 
fittings and the consequent separation of the engine from the wing.

Required actions include retorquing and replacing the pylon outboard 
and inboard lower link fittings on certain airplanes, and repetitively 
retorquing the pylon outboard and inboard lower link fittings on all 
airplanes. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a> by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2014-
0531.

Relevant Service Information

    Embraer has issued the following service information:
    <bullet> Embraer Alert Service Bulletin 190-54-A015, Revision 03, 
dated June 27, 2014.
    <bullet> Embraer Alert Service Bulletin 190LIN-54-A006, Revision 
02, dated June 27, 2014.
    <bullet> Embraer Service Bulletin 190-54-0013, dated November 27, 
2012.
    <bullet> Embraer Service Bulletin 190-54-0015, dated July 3, 2014.
    <bullet> Embraer Service Bulletin 190LIN-54-0004, dated December 
20, 2012.
    <bullet> Embraer Service Bulletin 190LIN-54-0006, dated July 3, 
2014.

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.

Difference Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    The applicability of the MCAI does not include production 
airplanes. This FAA AD, however, applies to all airplanes of the 
affected models to ensure that the repetitive retorquing is done on the 
fleet (as specified in paragraph (i) of this AD) and to prohibit the 
installation of certain lock nuts on any airplane in the fleet (as 
specified in paragraph (j) of this AD).
    The airplanes affected by paragraph (g)(2) of this AD include one 
airplane (serial number 19000641) that is not included in the 
corresponding requirement of the ANAC AD. For the airplanes affected by 
this requirement, the ANAC AD refers to Embraer Alert Service Bulletin 
190LIN-54-A006, Revision 02, dated June 27, 2014. This FAA AD, however, 
refers to the most recent service information--Embraer Service Bulletin 
190LIN-54-0006, dated July 3, 2014, which includes this

[[Page 48019]]

additional airplane. This has been coordinated with ANAC.

``Contacting the Manufacturer'' Paragraph in This AD

    Since late 2006, we have included a standard paragraph titled 
``Airworthy Product'' in all MCAI ADs in which the FAA develops an AD 
based on a foreign authority's AD.
    The MCAI or referenced service information in an FAA AD often 
directs the owner/operator to contact the manufacturer for corrective 
actions, such as a repair. Briefly, the Airworthy Product paragraph 
allowed owners/operators to use corrective actions provided by the 
manufacturer if those actions were FAA-approved. In addition, the 
paragraph stated that any actions approved by the State of Design 
Authority (or its delegated agent) are considered to be FAA-approved.
    In an NPRM having Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-101-AD (78 FR 
78285, December 26, 2013), we proposed to prevent the use of repairs 
that were not specifically developed to correct the unsafe condition, 
by requiring that the repair approval provided by the State of Design 
Authority or its delegated agent specifically refer to the FAA AD. This 
change was 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 
proposed to change the phrase ``its delegated agent'' to include a 
design approval holder (DAH) with State of Design Authority design 
organization approval (DOA), as applicable, to refer to a DAH 
authorized to approve required repairs for the proposed AD.
    One commenter to the NPRM having Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-
101-AD (78 FR 78285, December 26, 2013) stated the following: ``The 
proposed wording, being specific to repairs, eliminates the 
interpretation that Airbus messages are acceptable for approving minor 
deviations (corrective actions) needed during accomplishment of an AD 
mandated Airbus service bulletin.''
    This comment has made the FAA aware that some operators have 
misunderstood or misinterpreted the Airworthy Product paragraph to 
allow the owner/operator to use messages provided by the manufacturer 
as approval of deviations during the accomplishment of an AD-mandated 
action. The Airworthy Product paragraph does not approve messages or 
other information provided by the manufacturer for deviations to the 
requirements of the AD-mandated actions. The Airworthy Product 
paragraph only addresses the requirement to contact the manufacturer 
for corrective actions for the identified unsafe condition and does not 
cover deviations from other AD requirements. However, deviations to AD-
required actions are addressed in 14 CFR 39.17, and anyone may request 
the approval for an alternative method of compliance to the AD-required 
actions using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
    To address this misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the 
Airworthy Product paragraph, we have changed the paragraph and retitled 
it ``Contacting the Manufacturer.'' This paragraph now clarifies that 
for any requirement in this AD to obtain corrective actions from a 
manufacturer, the actions must be accomplished using a method approved 
by the FAA, ANAC, or ANAC's authorized Designee.
    The Contacting the Manufacturer paragraph also clarifies that, if 
approved by the ANAC Designee, the approval must include the Designee's 
authorized signature. The Designee's signature indicates that the data 
and information contained in the document are ANAC-approved, which is 
also FAA-approved. Messages and other information provided by the 
manufacturer that do not contain the ANAC Designee's authorized 
signature approval are not ANAC-approved, unless ANAC directly approves 
the manufacturer's message or other information.
    This clarification does not remove flexibility previously afforded 
by the Airworthy Product paragraph. Consistent with long-standing FAA 
policy, such flexibility was never intended for required actions. This 
is also consistent with the recommendation of the Airworthiness 
Directive Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee to increase 
flexibility in complying with ADs by identifying those actions in 
manufacturers' service instructions that are ``Required for 
Compliance'' with ADs. We continue to work with manufacturers to 
implement this recommendation. But once we determine that an action is 
required, any deviation from the requirement must be approved as an 
alternative method of compliance.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action. If final action is later 
identified, we might consider further rulemaking then.

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 loss 
of a shear pin on the pylon outboard and inboard lower link fittings 
could result in failure of the fitting and consequent separation of the 
engine from the wing. 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 less 
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-2014-0531; Directorate 
Identifier 2014-NM-142-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 based on 
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>, 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 86 airplanes of U.S. registry. We 
also estimate that it will take about 6 work-hours per product to 
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. Required parts will cost 
about $0. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these 
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be 
$43,860, or $510 per product.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be 
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected 
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected 
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our 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

[[Page 48020]]

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.
