Abstract
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-19-28, which applies to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes; and AD 2014-16-16, which applies to all of those airplane models. AD 2014-16-16 requires, for certain airplanes, retorquing and replacing the pylon lower link fittings, and for all airplanes, repetitively retorquing those fittings. AD 2018-19-28 requires modifying the attaching parts of the pylon lower link fittings. Since the FAA issued AD 2014-16-16 and AD 2018-19-28, the FAA finds it necessary to change the compliance time for the modification. This proposed AD would require an inspection of certain shear pins, replacement if necessary, and revised compliance times for the modification, as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2018-19-28, which applies to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100
STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW
airplanes; and AD 2014-16-16, which applies to all of those airplane
models. AD 2014-16-16 requires, for certain airplanes, retorquing and
replacing the pylon lower link fittings, and for all airplanes,
repetitively retorquing those fittings. AD 2018-19-28 requires
modifying the attaching parts of the pylon lower link fittings. Since
the FAA issued AD 2014-16-16 and AD 2018-19-28, the FAA finds it
necessary to change the compliance time for the modification. This
proposed AD would require an inspection of certain shear pins,
replacement if necessary, and revised compliance times for the
modification, as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de
Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is proposed for
incorporation by reference. 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 October 8,
2021.

Background
The FAA issued AD 2014-16-16, Amendment 39-17940 (79 FR 48018,
August 15, 2014) (AD 2014-16-16), which applies to all Embraer S.A.
Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR,
and -200 IGW airplanes. AD 2014-16-16 requires, for certain airplanes,
retorquing and replacing the pylon outboard and inboard lower link
fittings, and for all airplanes, that AD also requires repetitive
retorquing of the pylon outboard and inboard lower link fittings. The
FAA issued AD 2014-16-16 to prevent loss of a shear pin on the pylon
outboard and inboard lower link fittings, which could result in failure
of the fitting and consequent separation of the engine from the wing.
The FAA also issued AD 2018-19-28, Amendment 39-19429 (83 FR 48935,
September 28, 2018) (AD 2018-19-28), which applies to certain Embraer
S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200
LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. AD 2018-19-28 requires modification of the
attaching parts of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) pylon lower
link fittings, inboard and outboard positions. The FAA issued AD 2018-
19-28 to prevent loss of integrity of the engine pylon lower link
fittings, possibly resulting in separation of the engine from the wing.
AD 2018-19-28 specified that accomplishing certain actions required by
that AD terminated certain requirements of AD 2014-16-16.
Actions Since ADs 2014-16-16 and 2018-19-28 Were Issued
Since the FAA issued ADs 2014-16-16 and 2018-19-28, cracked nuts
and an external shear pin with damaged threads were found when the
pylon outboard and inboard lower link fittings were retorqued. In
addition, the FAA finds it necessary to change the compliance time for
the modification of the pylon lower link fitting attaching parts, in
order to prevent loss of integrity of the engine pylon lower link
fittings.
ANAC, which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued ANAC
AD 2020-06-02R02, effective November 30, 2020 (ANAC AD 2020-06-02R02)
(also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for certain
Yabor[atilde] Ind[uacute]stria Aeron[aacute]utica S.A. Model ERJ 190-
100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW
airplanes. ANAC AD 2020-06-02R02 supersedes ANAC AD 2014-07-01 (which
corresponds to FAA AD 2014-16-16) and ANAC AD 2017-01-01 (which
corresponds to FAA AD 2018-19-28). Model 190-100 SR airplanes are not
certificated by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type
certificate data sheet; this AD therefore does not include those
airplanes in the applicability.
This proposed AD was prompted by reports of bushing migration, loss
of nut torque on the engine pylon lower inboard and outboard link
fittings, a loose lower link assembly, and damaged nuts. The existing
torque values could cause damage to the nuts, which could lead to loss
of the shear pins of the pylon outboard and inboard lower link
fittings. In addition, the existing compliance time for the
modification of the pylon lower link fitting attaching parts has been
found to be inadequate to address the unsafe condition. The FAA is
proposing this AD to prevent loss of integrity of the lower link
fittings of the engine pylon, which could result in separation of the
engine from the wing. See the MCAI for additional background
information.
Explanation of Retained Requirements
Although this proposed AD does not explicitly restate the
requirements of ADs 2014-16-16 and 2018-19-28, this proposed AD would
retain all of the requirements of AD 2014-16-16 and AD 2018-19-28.
Those requirements are referenced in ANAC AD 2020-06-02R02, which, in
turn, is referenced in paragraph (g) of this proposed AD.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
ANAC AD 2020-06-02R02 describes procedures for: Reduction of the
torque to be applied to the castellated nuts of the external shear
pins; inspection of the external shear pin; modification of the
attaching parts of the LH and RH pylon lower link fittings, inboard and
outboard positions; and repetitive retorquing of the pylon outboard and
inboard lower link fittings.
This AD also requires Embraer Service Bulletin 190-54-0013, dated
November 27, 2012; and Embraer Service Bulletin 190LIN-54-0004, dated
December 20, 2012; which the Director of the Federal Register approved
for incorporation by reference as of September 2, 2014 (79 FR 48018,
August 15, 2014).
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 the ADDRESSES section.
Explanation of Change to Manufacturer's Name Specified in This NPRM
The FAA has revised references to the manufacturer's name specified
throughout this NPRM to identify the manufacturer name as published in
the most recent type certificate data sheet for the affected models.
[[Page 47254]]
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 the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the FAA
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.
Proposed AD Requirements
This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in ANAC AD 2020-06-02R02 described previously, as proposed for
incorporation by reference, except for any differences identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD, and except as
discussed under ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the MCAI.''
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 2020-06-02R02 by reference in the
FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance
with ANAC AD 2020-06-02R02 in its entirety through that incorporation,
except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory
text of this proposed AD. Service information required by ANAC AD 2020-
06-02R02 for compliance will be available at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-
0692 after the FAA final rule is published.
Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI
The applicability of ANAC AD 2020-06-02R02 is limited to certain
airplanes of the affected models. However, the applicability of this
proposed AD includes all airplanes. Because the affected lock
assemblies are rotable parts, the FAA has determined that these parts
could later be installed on airplanes that were initially delivered
with the acceptable lock assemblies, thereby subjecting those airplanes
to the unsafe condition. The FAA has confirmed that the requirement in
paragraph (w) of ANAC AD 2020-06-02R02 is applicable to the expanded
group of airplanes.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 85 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:
Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retained actions from AD 2014-16-16 6 work-hours x $85 per hour $0 $510 Up to $43,350
= $510.
Retained actions from AD 2018-19-28 Up to 270 work-hours x $85 $3,200 Up to $26,150 Up to
per hour = Up to $22,950. $2,222,750
New proposed actions............... Up to 274 work-hours x $85 Up to $3,180 Up to $26,470 Up to
per hour = Up to $23,290. $2,249,950
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed AD.
According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected operators. The FAA does not control warranty
coverage for affected operators. As a result, the FAA has included all
known costs in the cost estimate.
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.

accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, Large Aircraft
Section, International Validation Branch, FAA; or ANAC; or ANAC's
authorized Designee. If approved by the ANAC Designee, the approval
must include the Designee's authorized signature.
(3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except as specified by
paragraph (h) of this AD: For service information that contains
steps that are labeled as Required for Compliance (RC), the
provisions of paragraphs (j)(3)(i) and (ii) of this AD apply.
(i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
(ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.
