Yabora˜ Indu´stria Aerona´utica S.A.;
Embraer S.A.) Airplanes
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
The FAA proposes to
supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2019–24–16, which applies 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
2019–24–16 requires revising the
existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate
new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. Since the FAA issued AD
2019–24–16, the FAA has determined
that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary.
This proposed AD would require
revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations, as specified
in an Ageˆncia Nacional de Aviac¸a˜o Civil
(ANAC) AD, which is proposed for
incorporation by reference (IBR). The
FAA is proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments
on this proposed AD by May 20, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,

Background
The FAA issued AD 2019–24–16,
Amendment 39–21005 (84 FR 71772,
E:\FR\FM\04APP1.SGM
04APP1
23530
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 66 / Thursday, April 4, 2024 / Proposed Rules
December 30, 2019) (AD 2019–24–16),
for 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 2019–24–16 was prompted by an
MCAI originated by ANAC, which is the
aviation authority for Brazil. ANAC
issued AD 2019–05–02, effective May 2,
2019 (ANAC 2019–05–02) (which
corresponds to FAA AD 2019–24–16), to
correct an unsafe condition.
AD 2019–24–16 requires revising the
existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate
new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. The FAA issued AD 2019–
24–16 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.
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Actions Since AD 2019–24–16 Was
Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2019–24–
16, ANAC superseded AD 2019–24–16
and issued ANAC AD 2023–12–02,
effective December 15, 2023 (ANAC AD
2023–12–02) (also referred to as the
MCAI), for 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 that new or
more restrictive airworthiness
limitations have been developed.
The FAA is proposing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these
products. You may examine the MCAI
in the AD docket at regulations.gov
under Docket No. FAA–2024–0994.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed ANAC AD 2023–
12–02. This service information
specifies new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations for airplane
structures and safe life limits.
This AD also requires the following
documents, which the Director of the
Federal Register approved for
incorporation by reference as of
February 3, 2020 (84 FR 71772,
December 30, 2019).
• Appendix A—Airworthiness
Limitations (AL); to the EMBRAER 190/
195 Maintenance Review Board Report,
MRB–1928, Revision 12, dated
September 27, 2018.
• Appendix A—Airworthiness
Limitations (AL), to the EMBRAER
Lineage 1000/1000E Maintenance
Planning Guide, MPG–2928, Revision 8,
dated October 10, 2018.
This material is reasonably available
because the interested parties have

access to it through their normal course
of business or by the means identified
in ADDRESSES.
FAA’s Determination
This product has been approved by
the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in
the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s
bilateral agreement with this State of
Design Authority, it has notified the
FAA of the unsafe condition described
in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA
is issuing this NPRM after determining
that the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type
design.
Proposed AD Requirements in This
NPRM
This proposed AD would retain all
requirements of AD 2019–24–16. This
proposed AD would also require
revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate additional new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations,
which are specified in ANAC AD 2023–
12–02 already described, as proposed
for incorporation by reference. Any
differences with ANAC AD 2023–12–02
are identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD.
This proposed AD would require
revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new
actions (e.g., inspections) and Critical
Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with
these actions and CDCCLs is required by
14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that
have been previously modified, altered,
or repaired in the areas addressed by
this proposed AD, the operator may not
be able to accomplish the actions
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 (AMOC) according to
paragraph (k)(1) of this proposed AD.
Explanation of Required Compliance
Information
In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to
improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to
use some civil aviation authority (CAA)
ADs as the primary source of
information for compliance with
requirements for corresponding FAA
ADs. The FAA has been coordinating
this process with manufacturers and
CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to
incorporate ANAC AD 2023–12–02 by
reference in the FAA final rule. This
proposed AD would, therefore, require
compliance with ANAC AD 2023–12–02
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
through that incorporation, except for
any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this proposed
AD. Service information required by
ANAC AD 2023–12–02 for compliance
will be available at regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA–2024–0994 after the FAA final
rule is published.
Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using
the New Process
The FAA’s process of incorporating
by reference MCAI ADs as the primary
source of information for compliance
with corresponding FAA ADs has been
limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily
those with service bulletins as the
primary source of information for
accomplishing the actions required by
the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now
expanding the process to include MCAI
ADs that require a change to
airworthiness limitation documents,
such as airworthiness limitation
sections.
For these ADs that incorporate by
reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA
requirements are unchanged. Operators
must revise the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate the information specified in
the new airworthiness limitation
document. The airworthiness
limitations must be followed according
to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
The previous format of the
airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no
alternative actions (e.g., inspections),
intervals, or CDCCLs may be used
unless the actions, intervals, and
CDCCLs are approved as an AMOC in
accordance with the procedures
specified in the AMOCs paragraph
under ‘‘Additional AD Provisions.’’ This
new format includes a ‘‘New Provisions
for Alternative Actions, Intervals, and
CDCCLs’’ paragraph that does not
specifically refer to AMOCs, but
operators may still request an AMOC to
use an alternative action, interval, or
CDCCL.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if
adopted as proposed, would affect 98
airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA
estimates the following costs to comply
with this proposed AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per
operator for the retained actions from
AD 2019–24–16 to be $7,650 (90 workhours × $85 per work-hour).
The FAA has determined that revising
the existing maintenance or inspection
program takes an average of 90 workhours per operator, although the agency
E:\FR\FM\04APP1.SGM
04APP1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 66 / Thursday, April 4, 2024 / Proposed Rules
recognizes that this number may vary
from operator to operator. 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.
The FAA estimates the total cost per
operator for the new proposed actions to
be $7,650 (90 work-hours × $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.

Regulatory Findings
The FAA determined that this
proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order
13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate
aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Yabor[atilde] Ind[uacute]stria Aeron[aacute]utica
S.A.; Embraer S.A.) Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2019-24-16, which applies 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 2019-24-16 requires revising
the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since
the FAA issued AD 2019-24-16, the FAA has determined that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD
would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations, as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de
Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is proposed for
incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

Background
The FAA issued AD 2019-24-16, Amendment 39-21005 (84 FR 71772,
[[Page 23530]]
December 30, 2019) (AD 2019-24-16), for 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 2019-24-16 was
prompted by an MCAI originated by ANAC, which is the aviation authority
for Brazil. ANAC issued AD 2019-05-02, effective May 2, 2019 (ANAC
2019-05-02) (which corresponds to FAA AD 2019-24-16), to correct an
unsafe condition.
AD 2019-24-16 requires revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2019-24-16 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.
Actions Since AD 2019-24-16 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2019-24-16, ANAC superseded AD 2019-24-16
and issued ANAC AD 2023-12-02, effective December 15, 2023 (ANAC AD
2023-12-02) (also referred to as the MCAI), for 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
that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations have been
developed.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at
regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2024-0994.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed ANAC AD 2023-12-02. This service information
specifies new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations for
airplane structures and safe life limits.
This AD also requires the following documents, which the Director
of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of
February 3, 2020 (84 FR 71772, December 30, 2019).
Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations (AL); to the EMBRAER
190/195 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1928, Revision 12, dated
September 27, 2018.
Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations (AL), to the EMBRAER
Lineage 1000/1000E Maintenance Planning Guide, MPG-2928, Revision 8,
dated October 10, 2018.
This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.
FAA's Determination
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type design.
Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM
This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2019-24-16.
This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations, which are specified in ANAC
AD 2023-12-02 already described, as proposed for incorporation by
reference. Any differences with ANAC AD 2023-12-02 are identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD.
This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions 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 (AMOC) according to
paragraph (k)(1) of this proposed AD.
Explanation of Required Compliance Information
In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate ANAC AD 2023-12-02 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
ANAC AD 2023-12-02 through that incorporation, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD. Service information required by ANAC AD 2023-12-02 for
compliance will be available at regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2024-0994 after the FAA final rule is
published.
Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process
The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged.
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections), intervals, or CDCCLs may be used unless the actions,
intervals, and CDCCLs are approved as an AMOC in accordance with the
procedures specified in the AMOCs paragraph under ``Additional AD
Provisions.'' This new format includes a ``New Provisions for
Alternative Actions, Intervals, and CDCCLs'' paragraph that does not
specifically refer to AMOCs, but operators may still request an AMOC to
use an alternative action, interval, or CDCCL.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 98 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2019-24-16 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
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 23531]]
recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator. 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.
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed
actions 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.
Regulatory Findings
The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
