SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD
2012–23–09, Amendment 39–17265 (77
FR 73270, December 10, 2012) (‘‘AD
2012–23–09’’). AD 2012–23–09 applied
to all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190–100
STD, –100 LR, and –100 IGW airplanes;
and Model ERJ 190–200 STD, –200 LR,
and –200 IGW airplanes. The SNPRM
published in the Federal Register on
May 22, 2017 (82 FR 23153) (‘‘the
SNPRM’’). We preceded the SNPRM
with a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) that published in the Federal
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Register on February 3, 2014 (79 FR
6106) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM was
prompted by our determination that
more restrictive maintenance
requirements and airworthiness
limitations are necessary. The NPRM
proposed to require revising the
maintenance or inspection program to
incorporate modifications in the
airworthiness limitations specified in
the Embraer S.A. ERJ 190/195 MRBR to
include new inspection tasks and their
respective thresholds and intervals. The
SNPRM proposed to revise the NPRM
by adding a requirement to revise the
maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new
airworthiness limitations and by adding
certain airplanes to the applicability.
We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct fatigue cracking of structural
components, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the
airplane.
ˆ
The Agencia Nacional de Aviacao
¸˜
Civil (ANAC), which is the aviation
authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian
Airworthiness Directive 2016–04–01,
effective April 4, 2016 (referred to after
this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
on 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.
The MCAI states:
This [Brazilian] AD was prompted by a
determination that existing maintenance
requirements and airworthiness limitations
are inadequate to ensure the structural
integrity of the airplane. We are issuing this
[Brazilian] AD to prevent failure of certain
system components, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
The required action is revising the
maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate the
airworthiness limitations.
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–2014–
0008.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the SNPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the
public.

Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this 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 SNPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the SNPRM.

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.
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 to the Director of the System
Oversight Division.
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Regulatory Findings
Adoption of the Amendment
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
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as
follows:

100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW
airplanes. AD 2012-23-09 required revising the maintenance program to
incorporate certain modifications in airworthiness limitations. This
new AD requires revising the maintenance or inspection program to
incorporate certain modifications in the airworthiness limitations to
include new inspection tasks and their respective thresholds and
intervals. This AD was prompted by our determination that more
restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations are
necessary. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2012-23-09, Amendment 39-17265 (77
FR 73270, December 10, 2012) (``AD 2012-23-09''). AD 2012-23-09 applied
to all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, and -100 IGW
airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes.
The SNPRM published in the Federal Register on May 22, 2017 (82 FR
23153) (``the SNPRM''). We preceded the SNPRM with a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) that published in the Federal Register on February 3,
2014 (79 FR 6106) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by our
determination that more restrictive maintenance requirements and
airworthiness limitations are necessary. The NPRM proposed to require
revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate
modifications in the airworthiness limitations specified in the Embraer
S.A. ERJ 190/195 MRBR to include new inspection tasks and their
respective thresholds and intervals. The SNPRM proposed to revise the
NPRM by adding a requirement to revise the maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new airworthiness limitations
and by adding certain airplanes to the applicability. We are issuing
this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of structural
components, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the
airplane.
The Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC),
which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian
Airworthiness Directive 2016-04-01, effective April 4, 2016 (referred
to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on 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. The MCAI
states:
This [Brazilian] AD was prompted by a determination that
existing maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations are
inadequate to ensure the structural integrity of the airplane. We
are issuing this [Brazilian] AD to prevent failure of certain system
components, which could result in reduced structural integrity of
the airplane.
The required action is revising the maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate the airworthiness limitations.
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-2014-
0008.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the SNPRM or on the determination
of the cost to the public.
[[Page 42022]]
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this 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
SNPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM.

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.
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 to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.
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.
