Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. 
(EMBRAER) Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the 
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This 
proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information 
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to 
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The 
MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: It has been found the 
occurrence of two events of aircraft being dispatched with the cargo 
door opened without indication. In one of the events the aircraft took 
off with the cargo door opened.
    The unsafe condition is a cargo door opening during flight, which 
could result in reduced structural integrity and consequent rapid 
decompression of the airplane. The proposed AD would require actions 
that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the 
MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 17, 
2009.

Discussion

    On April 17, 2007, we issued AD 2007-06-53, Amendment 39-15035 (72 
FR 21088, April 30, 2007). That AD requires actions intended to address 
an unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    The preamble to AD 2007-06-53 specifies that we consider the 
requirements ``interim action'' and that the manufacturer is developing 
a modification to address the unsafe condition. That AD explains that 
we might consider further rulemaking if a modification is developed, 
approved, and available. The manufacturer now has developed such a 
modification, and we have determined that further rulemaking is indeed 
necessary; this proposed AD follows from that determination.
    The Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC), 
which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian 
Airworthiness Directives 2007-03-01R1, effective June 9, 2008, and 
2007-03-02R2, effective November 21, 2008 (referred to after this as 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified 
products. The MCAI states:

    It has been found the occurrence of two events of aircraft being 
dispatched with the cargo door opened without indication. In one of 
the events the aircraft took off with the cargo door opened.

The unsafe condition is a cargo door opening during flight, which could 
result in reduced structural integrity and consequent rapid 
decompression of the airplane. Required actions include repetitive 
inspections of the forward and aft cargo doors to detect signs of 
interference between the lock handle and the aft edge liner assembly 
and reworking the assembly; a one-time inspection for signs of damage 
of the lateral roller fitting on the forward and aft cargo door frames 
at the fuselage and

[[Page 41643]]

replacement of the roller if necessary, and modification of the cargo 
door, which ends the repetitive inspections. After accomplishing the 
modification, the actions include incorporating information into the 
maintenance program to include the operational (OPC) and functional 
(FNC) checks of the forward and aft cargo doors and accomplishing 
repetitive OPC and FNC checks. You may obtain further information by 
examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Embraer has issued Alert Service Bulletins 170-52-A036 (for Model 
ERJ 170 airplanes) and 190-52-A018 (for Model ERJ 190 airplanes); both 
Revision 01, both dated March 23, 2007. Embraer Alert Service Bulletins 
170-52-A036 and 190-52-A018, both dated March 12, 2007, were referred 
to in the existing AD for accomplishing the required actions. No 
additional work is necessary for airplanes on which the original issue 
of the service information has been done.
    Embraer has also issued Service Bulletins 170-52-0041, Revision 01, 
dated June 13, 2008, and 170-52-0044, dated January 18, 2008 (for Model 
ERJ 170 airplanes); and Service Bulletins 190-52-0023, Revision 02, 
dated March 11, 2008, and 190-52-0027 dated March 20, 2008 (for Model 
ERJ 190 airplanes).
    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 Proposed 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 proposing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same 
type design.

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 making these 
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information 
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those 
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are 
highlighted in a note within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD 
would affect about 145 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2007-06-53 and retained in this 
proposed AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor 
rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost 
of the currently required actions is $80 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 7 work-hours per product to 
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average 
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about 
$17,162 per product. Where the service information lists required parts 
costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will 
be no charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage 
for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than 
estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the 
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $2,569,690, or $17,722 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 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. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the 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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15035 (72 FR 
21088, April 30, 2007) and adding the following new AD:

Empresa Brasileira De Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER): Docket No. FAA-
2009-0687; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-033-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by September 17, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) The proposed AD supersedes AD 2007-06-53, Amendment 39-
15035.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to EMBRAER Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -
100 SE, -100 SU, -200 LR, -200 STD, and -200 SU airplanes; and ERJ 
190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 IGW, -200 LR, -200 STD, and -200 IGW

[[Page 41644]]

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 
states:
    It has been found the occurrence of two events of aircraft being 
dispatched with the cargo door opened without indication. In one of 
the events the aircraft took off with the cargo door opened.

The unsafe condition is a cargo door opening during flight, which 
could result in reduced structural integrity and consequent rapid 
decompression of the airplane. Required actions include repetitive 
inspections of the forward and aft cargo doors to detect signs of 
interference between the lock handle and the aft edge liner assembly 
and reworking the assembly; a one-time inspection for signs of 
damage of the lateral roller fitting on the forward and aft cargo 
door frames at the fuselage and replacement of the roller if 
necessary, and modification of the cargo door, which ends the 
repetitive inspections. After accomplishing the modification, the 
actions include incorporating information into the maintenance 
program to include the operational (OPC) and functional (FNC) checks 
of the forward and aft cargo doors and accomplishing repetitive OPC 
and FNC checks.

Compliance

    (f) Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.

    Note 5: For the purposes of this AD, an operational check (OPC) 
is: ``A task to determine if an item is fulfilling its intended 
purpose. Since it is a failure finding task, it does not require 
quantitative tolerances.''

FAA AD Differences

    Note 6: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information 
as follows: Where the MCAI includes a compliance time of ``after 
accomplishment of the modification'' for revising the maintenance 
program for Model ERJ-170 airplanes, we have determined that a 
compliance time of ``within 12 months after the effective date of 
the AD or within 12 months after accomplishment of the modification, 
whichever occurs later'' is appropriate. This compliance time is 
equivalent to the compliance time required for Model ERJ-190 
airplanes. The manufacturer and ANAC agree with this compliance 
time.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (l) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, 
International Branch, 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: Kenny Kaulia, Aerospace Engineer, 
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 
1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056; telephone 
(425) 227-2848; 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. AMOCs approved previously in 
accordance with AD 2007-06-53, are approved as AMOCs for the 
corresponding provisions of paragraph (i) of 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, the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information 
collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-
0056.
