Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. 
(EMBRAER) Model EMB-135BJ Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) 
for the products listed above. This 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 earlier MCAI, Brazilian 
Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-01, effective September 27, 2007, 
describes the unsafe condition as:

    Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-
88 (Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special 
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new 
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control 
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL), 
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel system. * * *

The new MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03, effective 
August 20, 2009, describes the unsafe condition as:

    An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal 
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ``RBHA Especial 
N[uacute]mero 88'' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional maintenance 
and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain the design 
features required to preclude the existence or development of an 
ignition source within the fuel tanks of the airplane.

* * * * *
We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe 
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 9, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of February 9, 
2011.
    On July 30, 2008 (73 FR 35908, June 25, 2008), the Director of the 
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain 
other publications listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified 
products. That supplemental NPRM was published in the Federal Register 
on March 23, 2010 (75 FR 13684), and proposed to supersede AD 2008-13-
15, Amendment 39-15578 (73 FR 35908, June 25, 2008). That supplemental 
NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified 
products. Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-01, effective 
September 27, 2007, describes the unsafe condition as:

    Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-
88 (Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special 
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new 
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control 
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL), 
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel system. * * *

Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03, effective August 20, 
2009, describes the unsafe condition as:

    An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal 
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ``RBHA Especial 
N[uacute]mero 88'' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional maintenance 
and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain the design 
features required to preclude the existence or development of an 
ignition source within the fuel tanks of the airplane.

* * * * *
The corrective action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section 
(ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to 
incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems. 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 considered the comment received.

Request To Consider Additional Service Information

    The commenter, EMBRAER, requested that we revise the supplemental 
NPRM to include Parker Service Bulletin 367-934-28-110, Revision A, 
dated December 19, 2006, as acceptable for compliance with the proposed 
requirements. Parker makes the fuel conditioning unit (FCU) and ventral 
fuel conditioning unit (VFCU). Parker revised certain references within 
that service bulletin, clarifying all checks and inspections to be 
performed on the FCU and/or FVCU to ensure that the ``safe life'' 
features are maintained. Parker also published certain data 
substantiating that CUs in compliance with the 10,000-flight-hour 
inspection in accordance with Parker Service Bulletin 367-934-28-110, 
Revision A, dated December 19, 2006, have had the equivalent inspection 
to the safe-life

[[Page 438]]

testing required in the recently updated references. When an FCU is 
returned to the field after having that service bulletin incorporated, 
the unit is returned to the customer with an FAA 8130-3 tag indicating 
that the service bulletin was done, and the FCU is also marked to 
indicate that service bulletin.
    We agree with the request and the commenter's rationale. We have 
added a provision to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD to consider FCUs 
inspected by Parker and marked with Parker Service Bulletin 367-934-28-
110 and the date of accomplishment to be in compliance with the 
requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. We have also revised the 
previous NPRM by removing paragraph (1) of Note 3, which implied that 
the Parker service bulletin was not acceptable for compliance.

Additional Change to Supplemental NPRM

    We have revised paragraph (g)(1) and added new Note 2 in this final 
rule to clarify the requirements to incorporate new limitations for 
fuel tank systems.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and 
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the 
AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these 
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or 
increase the scope of the AD.

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 required different actions in this AD from those 
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences 
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD affects 
about 43 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2008-13-15 and retained in this 
AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 
per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the 
currently required actions is $85 per product.
    We estimate that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to comply 
with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is 
$85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the 
new requirements on U.S. operators to be $3,655, or $85 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 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 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); 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://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, 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. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly 
after receipt.

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15578 (73 FR 
35908, June 25, 2008) and adding the following new AD:

2011-01-01 Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER): 
Amendment 39-16554. Docket No. FAA-2008-1080; Directorate Identifier 
2008-NM-118-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective February 
9, 2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2008-13-15, Amendment 39-15578.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica 
S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-135BJ airplanes, certificated in any 
category.

    Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator 
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with 
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes 
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the 
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able 
to accomplish the inspections 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 according 
to paragraph (h)(1) of this AD. The request should include a 
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure 
the continued operational safety of the airplane.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

[[Page 439]]

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI), 
Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-01, effective September 
27, 2007, states:
    Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-
88 (Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special 
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new 
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control 
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL), 
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel system. * * *
And the MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03, 
effective August 20, 2009, states:
    An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal 
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and ``RBHA Especial 
N[uacute]mero 88'' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional maintenance 
and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain the design 
features required to preclude the existence or development of an 
ignition source within the fuel tanks of the airplane.
* * * * *
The corrective action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations 
Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) 
to incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2008-13-15

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Before December 16, 2008, revise the ALS of the ICA to 
incorporate Section A2.5.2, Fuel System Limitation Items, of 
Appendix 2 of EMBRAER Legacy BJ--Maintenance Planning Guide MPG-
1483, Revision 5, dated March 22, 2007, except as provided by 
paragraph (g) of this AD. Except as required by paragraph (g) of 
this AD, for all tasks identified in Section A2.5.2 of Appendix 2 of

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

    (2) Within 90 days after July 30, 2008 (the effective date of AD 
2008-13-15), revise the ALS of the ICA to incorporate Items 1, 2, 
and 3 of Section A2.4, Critical Design Configuration Control 
Limitation (CDCCL), of Appendix 2 of EMBRAER Legacy BJ--Maintenance 
Planning Guide MPG-1483, Revision 5, dated March 22, 2007.
    (3) After accomplishing the actions specified in paragraphs 
(f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD, no alternative inspections, inspection 
intervals, or CDCCLs may be used unless the inspections, intervals, 
or CDCCLs are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) 
in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (h) of this 
AD.

New Requirements of This AD

Actions and Compliance

    (g) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, add 
Tasks 28-41-01-720-001-A01 and 28-46-05-720-001-A01 identified in 
table 2 of this AD to Section A2.5.2 of Appendix 2 of EMBRAER Legacy 
BJ--Maintenance Planning Guide MPG-1483. The operator can accomplish 
this by placing a copy of this AD into that section of the 
operator's MPG-1483. Once these tasks have been added, Tasks 28-41-
01-720-001-A00 and 28-46-05-720-001-A00 identified in Section A2.5.2 
of Appendix 2 of EMBRAER Legacy BJ--Maintenance Planning Guide MPG-
1483, Revision 5, dated March 22, 2007, are no longer required. For 
the fuel limitation tasks identified in Table 2 of this AD, do the 
initial task at the later of the applicable ``Threshold'' and 
``Grace Period'' times specified in table 2 of this AD. Fuel 
condition units (FCUs) inspected by Parker and marked with Parker 
Service Bulletin 367-934-28-110 and the date of accomplishment are 
considered to be in compliance with the requirements of this

    Note 2:  Once EMBRAER incorporates Tasks 28-41-01-720-001-A01 
and 28-46-05-720-001-A01 into Section A2.5.2 of Appendix 2 of 
EMBRAER Legacy BJ--Maintenance Planning Guide MPG-1483, either by a 
temporary revision or by a general revision of Section A2.5.2 of 
Appendix 2 of EMBRAER Legacy BJ--Maintenance Planning Guide MPG-
1483, this AD may be removed from Section A2.5.2 of that document.

    (2) After accomplishment of the actions specified in paragraph 
(g)(1) of this AD, no alternative inspections or inspection 
intervals may be used unless the inspections or intervals are 
approved as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in 
paragraph (h) of this AD.

Explanation of CDCCL Requirements

    Note 3:  Notwithstanding any other maintenance or operational 
requirements, components that have been identified as airworthy or 
installed on the affected airplanes before the revision of the ALS 
of the ICA, as required by paragraphs (f)(1), (f)(2), and (g)(1) of 
this AD, do not need to be reworked in accordance with the CDCCLs. 
However, once the ALS of the ICA has been revised, future 
maintenance actions on these components must be done in accordance 
with the CDCCLs.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 4:  This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service 
information as follows:
    (1) The applicability of Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-
08-03, effective August 20, 2009, includes models other than Model 
EMB-135BJ airplanes. However, this AD does not include those other 
models. Those models are included in the applicability of FAA AD 
2008-13-14, Amendment 39-15577. We are considering further 
rulemaking to revise AD 2008-13-14.
    (2) Although Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03, 
effective August 20, 2009, specifies both revising the airworthiness 
limitations and repetitively inspecting, this AD only requires the 
revision. Requiring a revision of the airworthiness limitations, 
rather than requiring individual repetitive inspections, requires 
operators to record AD compliance status only at the time they make 
the revision, rather than after every inspection. Repetitive 
inspections specified in the airworthiness limitations must be 
complied with in accordance with 14 CFR 91.403(c).

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (h) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, 
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, has the authority to approve 
AMOCs for this AD, if requested

[[Page 441]]

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to 
ATTN: Todd Thompson, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-
116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., 
Renton, Washington 98057-3356; telephone (425) 227-1175; 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.
    (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: A federal agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a 
person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a 
collection of information subject to the requirements of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information 
displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number 
for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public reporting for 
this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 5 
minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, 
completing and reviewing the collection of information. All 
responses to this collection of information are mandatory. Comments 
concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing 
the burden should be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave., 
SW., Washington, DC 20591, Attn: Information Collection Clearance 
Officer, AES-200.
