SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005–03– 12, amendment 39–13968, applicable to certain Airbus Model A330, A340–200, and A340–300 series airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2005 (70 FR 7386). That AD requires initial and repetitive inspections of certain frame stiffeners to detect cracking and replacement of any cracked stiffener with a new, reinforced stiffener. Replacement of the stiffener constitutes terminating action for certain inspections. That AD also requires a one-time inspection of any new, reinforced stiffener; and repair or replacement of the new, reinforced stiffener if any cracking is found during the one-time inspection. That AD also provides for an optional terminating action for certain requirements of that AD. As published, that final rule incorrectly specified the AD number in a single location in the AD as ‘‘2005– NM–03–12’’ instead of ‘‘2005–03–12.’’ Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed, the final rule is not being republished in the Federal Register. The effective date of this AD remains March 21, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: § 39.13 SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in airworthiness directive (AD) 2005–03– 12 that was published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2005 (70 FR 7386). The typographical error resulted in an incorrect AD number. This AD is applicable to certain Airbus Model A330, A340–200, and A340–300 series VerDate jul<14>2003 airplanes. This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections of certain frame stiffeners to detect cracking and replacement of any cracked stiffener with a new, reinforced stiffener. Replacement of the stiffener constitutes terminating action for certain inspections. This AD also requires a one-time inspection of any new, reinforced stiffener; and repair or replacement of the new, reinforced stiffener if any cracking is found during the one-time inspection. This AD also provides for an optional terminating action for certain requirements of this AD.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), VerDate jul<14>2003 17:11 Mar 10, 2005 Jkt 205001 which applies to certain Boeing Model 727 airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive detailed inspections to detect cracking, corrosion, and existing stop-drilled repairs of cracking in the upper chord of the rear spar of the wing; and repair if necessary. This new AD requires new repetitive inspections to detect cracks, corrosion, minor surface defects, and existing stop-drilled repairs of cracks in the upper and lower chords of the front and rear spars of the wing; and repair if necessary. This AD is prompted by our determination that further rulemaking action is necessary to require additional actions specified in the referenced service bulletin. We are issuing this AD to prevent structural failure of the wing and fuel leaks in the airplane due to stress corrosion cracking of the wing spar chords. DATES: This AD becomes effective April 15, 2005. On December 18, 2002 (67 FR 71808, December 3, 2002), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 727–57A0145, Revision 2, dated October 24, 2002. ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact Boeing Commercial Airplanes, P.O. Box 3707, Seattle, Washington 98124–2207. Docket: The AD docket contains the proposed AD, comments, and any final disposition. You can examine the AD docket on the Internet at https:// dms.dot.gov, or in person at the Docket Management Facility office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

Kutz, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe Branch, ANM–120S, FAA, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055–4056; telephone (425) 917–6456; fax (425) 917–6590. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 39) with an AD to supersede AD 2002–24–05, amendment 39–12970 (67 FR 71808, December 3, 2002). The existing AD applies to certain Boeing Model 727 airplanes. The proposed AD was published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2004 (69 FR 64506), to PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 require new repetitive inspections to detect cracks, corrosion, minor surface defects, and existing stop-drilled repairs of cracks in the upper and lower chords of the front and rear spars of the wing; and repair if necessary. Comments We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the development of this AD. We have considered the comment that has been submitted on the proposed AD. The commenter supports the proposed AD. Explanation of Change to Model Designation We have revised the subject heading of the existing AD to identify model designations as published in the most recent type certificate data sheet for the affected models. Changes to Delegation Authority Boeing has received a Delegation Option Authorization (DOA). We have revised this final rule to delegate the authority to approve an alternative method of compliance for any repair required by this AD to the Authorized Representative for the Boeing DOA Organization rather than the Designated Engineering Representative (DER). Conclusion We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the comment that has been submitted, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the change described previously. We have determined that this change will neither increase the economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD. Costs of Compliance There are about 1,426 airplanes of the affected design in the worldwide fleet. This AD will affect about 946 airplanes of U.S. registry. For Group 1 airplanes identified in the service bulletin, the actions (Part 1 of the Accomplishment Instructions of the service bulletin) that are required by AD 2002–24–05 and retained in this AD take about 8 work hours per airplane, at an average labor rate of $65 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently required actions is $520 per airplane. The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators to comply with the new actions required by this AD. The average labor rate is $65 per work hour. E:\FR\FM\11MRR1.SGM 11MRR1

AD number. This AD applies to certain Boeing Model 767 series 
airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed and eddy current 
inspections of the aft pressure bulkhead for damage and cracking, and 
repair if necessary. This AD also requires one-time detailed and high 
frequency eddy current inspections of any ``oil-can'' located on the 
aft pressure bulkhead, and related corrective actions if necessary.

DATES: Effective March 18, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 31, 2005, the FAA issued AD 2005-
03-11, amendment 39-13967 (70 FR 7174, February 11, 2005), for certain 
Boeing Model 767 series airplanes. The AD requires repetitive detailed 
and eddy current inspections of the aft pressure bulkhead for damage 
and cracking, and repair if necessary. The AD also requires one-time 
detailed and high frequency eddy current inspections of any ``oil-can'' 
located on the aft pressure bulkhead, and related corrective actions if 
necessary.
    As published, that final rule incorrectly specified the AD number 
in a single location in the AD as ``2005-NM-03-11'' instead of ``2005-
03-11.''
    No other part of the regulatory information has been changed; 
therefore, the final rule is not republished in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains March 18, 2005.
