EMR in a private subnet

When running EC2 instance or other AWS services in a private subnet, you need a NAT to access S3. 

You can not use a NAT when using EMR:
Because access to and from the AWS cloud is a requirement of the cluster, you must connect an Internet gateway to the VPC subnet hosting the cluster. If your application has components you do not want connected to the Internet gateway you can launch those components in other subnets you create within your VPC. In addition, because of the need to access the AWS cloud, you cannot use Network Address Translation (NAT) when you are running Amazon EMR on a VPC.
