ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are superseding
airworthiness directive (AD) 2010–14–
14 that applies to certain Embraer S.A.
Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 airplanes.
AD 2010–14–14 currently requires, for
certain airplanes, repetitively replacing
the low-stage check valve and
associated seals of the right hand (RH)
engine’s engine bleed system with a
new check valve and new seals,
replacing the low pressure check valves
(LPCVs), and revising the maintenance
program. For certain other airplanes, AD
2010–14–14 requires replacing a certain
low-stage check valve with an improved
low-stage check valve. For certain
airplanes, this new AD adds replacing
certain LPCVs of the left hand (LH) and
RH engines, which would be an option
for other airplanes. This AD was
prompted by reports of uncommanded
engine shutdowns on both Model ERJ
170 and ERJ 190 airplanes due to
excessive wear and failure of LPCVs
having certain part numbers. We are
issuing this AD to prevent the
possibility of a dual engine in-flight
shutdown due to LPCV failure.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
August 6, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to the specified products. The
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on December 26, 2012 (77 FR
75911), and proposed to supersede AD
2010–14–14, Amendment 39–16359 (75
FR 42585, July 22, 2010). (AD 2010–14–
14 superseded AD 2007–16–09,
Amendment 39–15148 (72 FR 44734,
August 9, 2007)). AD 2007–16–09
superseded AD 2005–23–14,
Amendment 39–14372 (70 FR 69075,
November 14, 2005). The NPRM
proposed to correct an unsafe condition
for the specified products. The
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information (MCAI) for Embraer S.A.
Model ERJ 170 airplanes states:
It has been found the occurrence of an
engine in-flight shutdown * * * caused by
the LPCV failure P/N [part number] 1001447–
3 with 3,900 Flight Hours (FH) installed on
ERJ–170. This valve failed [to] open due [to]
excessive wear. [I]t was found the occurrence
of an engine shutdown on-ground, caused by
the LPCV failure P/N 1001447–4 with 1,802
FH installed on ERJ–190 failed due [to] low
cycle fatigue. Since the behavior of a valve
P/N 1001447–4 removed from ERJ–190 is
unknown on ERJ–170 and the P/N 1001447–
4 is common between ERJ–170 and ERJ–190
airplane fleet, an action is necessary to

The MCAI for Embraer S.A. Model
ERJ 190 airplanes states:
It has been found the occurrence of an
engine in-flight shutdown * * * caused by
the LPCV failure P/N 1001447–3 with 3,900
Flight Hours (FH) installed on ERJ–170. This
valve failed [to] open due [to] excessive wear.
[I]t was found the occurrence of an engine
shutdown on-ground, caused by the LPCV
failure P/N 1001447–4 with 1,802 FH
installed on ERJ–190 failed due [to] low cycle
fatigue. Since the behavior of a valve P/N
1001447–4 removed from ERJ–170 is
unknown on ERJ–190 and the P/N 1001447–
4 is common between ERJ–170 and ERJ–190
airplane fleet, an action is necessary to
prevent the installation, in ERJ–190
airplanes, of LPCVs P/N 1001447–4
previously installed in ERJ–170 airplanes.

The unsafe condition is the possibility
of a dual engine in-flight shutdown due
to LPCV failure. The required actions
include the actions required by AD
2010–14–14, Amendment 39–16359 (75
FR 42585, July 22, 2010), and, for
certain airplanes, replacing the LPCVs
of the LH and RH engines, which would
be an option for certain other airplanes.
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
have considered the comment received.
Request for Clarification of Approved
Method
US Airways requested clarification of
paragraph (l) of the NPRM (77 FR 75911,
December 26, 2012), which requires
installing a new LPCV using a method
approved by either the Manager,
International Branch, ANM–116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or
ˆ
Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil
¸˜
(ANAC) (or its delegated agent). The
commenter requested clarification of the
approved method so operators can
understand acceptable and unacceptable
methods of installation. The commenter
also stated that the approved method
needs to be stated to avoid having to
obtain approval of an alternative
method of compliance (AMOC) allowing
use of certain documents.
We agree to provide clarification. We
have reviewed EMBRAER Service
Bulletins 190–36–0014, Revision 01,
dated January 14, 2009; 190–LIN–36–
0004, dated December 23, 2009; and
170–36–0011, Revision 2, dated July 19,
2007. Those bulletins provide
instructions for installing P/N 1001447–

4; however, they may be used to install
P/N 1001447–6. We have added
paragraphs (l)(2) and (m)(2) to this AD
to provide references for installing P/N
1001447–6. We have also added note 1
to paragraph (n) of this AD to provide
guidance for an optional terminating
action. Embraer has not published
installation instructions specifically for
the P/N 1001447–6 that can be
incorporated by reference in this AD.
We will consider approving any
alternate installation instructions that
operators propose.
Clarification of Calculation for
Equivalent Flight Hours
We have revised paragraph (k)(4)(ii) of
this AD to clarify the calculation for
equivalent flight hours.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data,
including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed except for minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these
minor changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM (77 FR
75911, December 26, 2012) for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 75911,
December 26, 2012).
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect
about 253 products of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to
comply with this proposed AD:

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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
Cost per product
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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

AD was prompted by reports of two inservice occurrences on Model 737–400
airplanes of total loss of boost pump
pressure of the fuel feed system,
followed by loss of fuel system suction
feed capability on one engine, and inflight shutdown of the engine. This AD
requires repetitive operational tests of
the engine fuel suction feed of the fuel
system, and other related testing and
corrective actions if necessary. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct
loss of the engine fuel suction feed
capability of the fuel system, which, in
the event of total loss of the fuel boost
pumps, could result in multi-engine
flameout, inability to restart the engines,
and consequent forced landing of the
airplane.
This AD is effective August 6,
2013.
The Director of the Federal Register

of a certain publication listed in the AD
as of August 6, 2013.

Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2010-14-14
that applies to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190
airplanes. AD 2010-14-14 currently requires, for certain airplanes,
repetitively replacing the low-stage check valve and associated seals
of the right hand (RH) engine's engine bleed system with a new check
valve and new seals, replacing the low pressure check valves (LPCVs),
and revising the maintenance program. For certain other airplanes, AD
2010-14-14 requires replacing a certain low-stage check valve with an
improved low-stage check valve. For certain airplanes, this new AD adds
replacing certain LPCVs of the left hand (LH) and RH engines, which
would be an option for other airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports
of uncommanded engine shutdowns on both Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190
airplanes due to excessive wear and failure of LPCVs having certain
part numbers. We are issuing this AD to prevent the possibility of a
dual engine in-flight shutdown due to LPCV failure.
DATES: This AD becomes effective August 6, 2013.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 6,
2013.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

2005). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information
(MCAI) for Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 airplanes states:
It has been found the occurrence of an engine in-flight shutdown
* * * caused by the LPCV failure P/N [part number] 1001447-3 with
3,900 Flight Hours (FH) installed on ERJ-170. This valve failed [to]
open due [to] excessive wear. [I]t was found the occurrence of an
engine shutdown on-ground, caused by the LPCV failure P/N 1001447-4
with 1,802 FH installed on ERJ-190 failed due [to] low cycle
fatigue. Since the behavior of a valve P/N 1001447-4 removed from
ERJ-190 is unknown on ERJ-170 and the P/N 1001447-4 is common
between ERJ-170 and ERJ-190 airplane fleet, an action is necessary
to prevent the installation, in ERJ-170 airplanes, of LPCVs P/N
1001447-4 previously installed in ERJ-190 airplanes.

The unsafe condition is the possibility of a dual engine in-flight
shutdown due to LPCV failure. The required actions include the actions
required by AD 2010-14-14, Amendment 39-16359 (75 FR 42585, July 22,
2010), and, for certain airplanes, replacing the LPCVs of the LH and RH
engines, which would be an option for certain other airplanes. 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 have considered the comment received.
Request for Clarification of Approved Method
US Airways requested clarification of paragraph (l) of the NPRM (77
FR 75911, December 26, 2012), which requires installing a new LPCV
using a method approved by either the Manager, International Branch,
ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional
de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) (or its delegated agent). The
commenter requested clarification of the approved method so operators
can understand acceptable and unacceptable methods of installation. The
commenter also stated that the approved method needs to be stated to
avoid having to obtain approval of an alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) allowing use of certain documents.
We agree to provide clarification. We have reviewed EMBRAER Service
Bulletins 190-36-0014, Revision 01, dated January 14, 2009; 190-LIN-36-
0004, dated December 23, 2009; and 170-36-0011, Revision 2, dated July
19, 2007. Those bulletins provide instructions for installing P/N
1001447-
[[Page 39568]]
4; however, they may be used to install P/N 1001447-6. We have added
paragraphs (l)(2) and (m)(2) to this AD to provide references for
installing P/N 1001447-6. We have also added note 1 to paragraph (n) of
this AD to provide guidance for an optional terminating action. Embraer
has not published installation instructions specifically for the P/N
1001447-6 that can be incorporated by reference in this AD. We will
consider approving any alternate installation instructions that
operators propose.
Clarification of Calculation for Equivalent Flight Hours
We have revised paragraph (k)(4)(ii) of this AD to clarify the
calculation for equivalent flight hours.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have determined
that these minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 75911, December 26, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 75911, December 26, 2012).
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect about 253 products of U.S.
registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:
Estimated costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of U.S.-
Action Labor cost Cost per product registered Cost on U.S.

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 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.
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 https://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 (77 FR 75911, December 26,
2012), 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
