14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0172; Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-222-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 airplanes. This proposed AD was
prompted by

reports of ``BLEED 1(2) LEAK'' messages displayed on the Engine
Indication and Crew Alert System (EICAS), and indirect damage to
components of the Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) in
the engine pylon area. This proposed AD would require inspecting the
EWIS components for damage, and repair if necessary. This proposed AD
would also require installing pre-cooler deflectors on the left- and
right-hand pylons, and applying silicone sealant. We are proposing this
AD to prevent indirect damage to EWIS components near the engine bleed
air pre-coolers, which could result in a dual engine roll back to idle
and consequent dual engine power loss and reduced controllability of
the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 12, 2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC),
which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian
Airworthiness Directive 2013-11-01, effective November 4, 2013
(referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    This [ANAC] AD results from reports of ``BLEED 1(2) LEAK''
messages being displayed on the Engine Indication and Crew Alert
system (EICAS) panel, and indirect damages to components of the
Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) on the engine pilone
area, zones 419 and 429, adjacent to the exhaust flange of the
engine bleed air precooler.
    Further investigation has shown that a leakage on the flange of
the precooler refrigerating air exhaust duct caused the damage and
triggered the message. We are issuing this [ANAC] AD to prevent EWIS
components indirect damage, near to engine bleed air precooler,
which could result in a dual engine roll back to idle and the
consequent dual engine power loss.

Required actions include inspecting the EWIS components adjacent to the
left- and right-hand pre-cooler for damage, and repair if necessary;
installing pre-cooler deflectors on the left- and right-hand pylons,
and applying silicone sealant. You may examine the MCAI in the AD
docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2014-0172.

Relevant Service Information

    Embraer has issued EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-36-0019, dated
August 23, 2011; and Subject 20-62-00, ``Requirements for EWIS
Components Inspections and Checks--Maintenance Practices'' of EMBRAER
170/175/190/195 Standard Wiring Practices Manual SWPM-1590, Revision
25, dated June 3, 2013. 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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 181 products of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 6 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $366
per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $158,556, or $876 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in 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 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);
    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.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On August 14, 2017, the Coast Guard established a temporary safety
zone for the upper reaches of Taylor Bayou Basin in Port Arthur, TX.\1\
That emergency action was necessary to protect the damaged flood
protection levee and bulkhead during stabilization efforts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See the temporary final rule titled Safety Zone; Taylor
Bayou Turning Basin, Port Arthur, TX, Docket No. USCG-2017-0797 (83
FR 4843).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 16, 2018, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone; Taylor Bayou Turning Basin, Port
Arthur, TX (83 FR 16267). There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and
invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to this
temporary safety zone. During the comment period that ended on June 15,
2018, we received one comment.
    On July 18, 2018, the Coast Guard published the temporary final
rule establishing the safety zone until January 31, 2023 (83 FR 33842).
    In August 2022, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) informed
the Coast Guard that permanent repairs to the flood protection wall
would not be completed for another two years. Therefore, the Coast
Guard proposed to extend the effective period of the temporary safety
zone through January 31, 2025.
    On October 5, 2022, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone; Taylor Bayou Turning Basin, Port
Arthur, TX (87 FR 60363). There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and
invited comments on our proposed regulatory action to extend this
temporary safety zone. During the comment period that ended on November
4, 2022, we received one comment.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port (COTP) has
determined that potential damage to temporary repairs would make the
surrounding community susceptible to flooding during storm surge or
extreme tide events that may endanger persons and property in the
surrounding community. The USACE has requested, and the Coast Guard
concurs, that protection measures must be instituted until permanent
repairs are completed.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received one comment on our NPRM published
October 5, 2022. The comment supported the need for the safety but also
commented on the inconvenience to the public due to a temporary closure
of Texas 124 bridge. This rulemaking does not require nor discuss the
closure of any bridges in the area, it simply excludes vessel traffic
from the affected waterway to protect a damaged floodwall. Therefore,
no changes in the regulatory text were necessary.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration and entities impacted by the safety zone. This
safety zone affects approximately 350-yards of Taylor Bayou Turning
Basin north of latitude 29[deg]50'57.45 N. A facility receives vessels
within this zone and that facility would be permitted to receive
vessels based on previously agreed to maneuvering calculations and
plans.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration

on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b)
that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves
extending the effective period of the temporary safety zone on the
upper reaches of Taylor Bayou Turning Basin in Port Arthur, TX. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A
Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see
the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    A Certificate of Alternative Compliance, as allowed for under the
provisions of the alternative compliance regulations in 33 CFR part 81,
has been issued for the JT Marine Shipyard Hull #005. The vessel's
primary purpose is as a work boat. The unique design of the vessel does
not lend itself to full compliance with Rule 21(c) and Annex I, Part
3(b) of the International and Inland Navigational Rules.
    The Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, certifies that full compliance
with the International and Inland Navigational Rules would interfere
with the special functions and intent of the vessel and would not
significantly enhance the safety of the vessel's operation. Placing the
sidelights and sternlight in the required position would result in the
high probability that the lights would be damaged or destroyed during
vessel work boat operations.
    The Certificate of Alternative Compliance authorizes the JT Marine
Shipyard Hull #005 to deviate from the requirements set forth in Annex
I of the International Navigational Rules and 33 CFR 84.05 of the
Inland Navigational Rules by placing its sidelights 8 feet and 4 inches
from the vessel's centerline and the sternlight on the backside of the
rear navigation light mast.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c) and 33
CFR 81.18.

    Dated: January 5, 2017.
B.S. Gilda,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Prevention Division, Thirteenth Coast
Guard District.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-0109; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-235-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Lockheed Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F,
and 382G Series Airplanes

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); reopening of comment
period.

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

SUMMARY: This document announces a reopening of the comment period for
the above-referenced NPRM. The NPRM proposed the adoption of a new
airworthiness directive for all Lockheed Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F,
and 382G series airplanes. That NPRM invites comments concerning the
proposed requirements for revising the FAA-approved maintenance
inspection program to include inspections that will give no less than
the required damage tolerance rating for each structural significant
item (SSI), doing repetitive inspections to detect cracks of all SSIs,
and repairing cracked structure. This reopening of the comment period
is necessary to provide additional opportunity for public comment on
the proposed requirements of that NPRM.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 31, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    We proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for an AD for all Lockheed Model 382, 382B, 382E,
382F, and 382G series airplanes. The NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on November 14, 2007 (72 FR 64005). The NPRM proposed to
require revising the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program to
include inspections that will give no less than the required damage
tolerance rating for each structural significant item (SSI), doing
repetitive inspections to detect cracks of all SSIs, and repairing
cracked structure. The NPRM action invites comments on the overall
regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the proposed
AD.

Actions Since NPRM Was Issued

    Since we issued the NPRM, we have received one comment. Lynden Air
Cargo requests an additional 45 days to comment on the NPRM. Lynden Air
Cargo states that it needs more time to:
     Review Lockheed Martin Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, and
382G Series Aircraft Service Manual Publication (SMP), Supplemental
Structural Inspection Document, SMP 515-C-SSID, Change 1, dated
September 10, 2007 (referred to the NPRM as the appropriate source of
service information for accomplishing the proposed actions). Lynden Air
Cargo states that the service information was not made available by the
Type Certificate holder until December 18, 2007.
     Comment about the conclusion in the Regulatory Evaluation
(located in the docket) that the NPRM does not affect intrastate
aviation in Alaska. Lynden Air Cargo states that its military
operations in Alaska account for some 4.5 million pounds of lift per
year.
     Review service difficulty reports to validate the presence
of an unsafe condition relating to the affected airplanes. Lynden Air
Cargo states that it does not appear that the requirements of the NPRM
are based upon any unsafe condition related to a particular type
design.
    It is our intent to address the identified unsafe condition in a
timely manner with minimum disruption to industry. We encourage
interested parties to continue to evaluate the NPRM and to submit
additional comments with more specific details concerning issues that
we may need to evaluate before finalizing decisions on the proposal. We
have determined that such input may be beneficial before adoption of a
final rule. As a result, we have decided to reopen the comment period
for 45 days to receive additional comments.
    No part of the regulatory information has been changed; therefore,
the NPRM is not republished in the Federal Register.

Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments on this AD action by March 31, 2008.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on February 7, 2008.
Kevin Hull,
Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification
Service.
