The error resulted in a reference only to the left main fuel tank in paragraph (f)(2) of that AD rather than to both the left and right main fuel tanks. This AD applies to certain Boeing Model 777–200, –300, and –300ER series airplanes. This AD requires a one-time inspection of the first bonding jumper aft of the bulkhead fitting to detect damage or failure and to determine the mechanical integrity of its electrical bonding path, and repair if necessary; measurement of the bonding resistance between the fitting for the fuel feed tube and the front spar in the left and right main fuel tanks, and repairing the bonding if necessary; and application of additional sealant to completely cover the bulkhead fittings inside the fuel tanks.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to certain Aerospatiale Model ATR42–500 and ATR72–212A series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the upper closing rib of the vertical fin, related investigative actions, and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD requires modifying the installation of the vertical leading edge fairing at the fin tip, which ends the repetitive inspections. This AD results from a report that rudder operation difficulties occurred on a Model ATR42–500 series airplane while the airplane was on the ground. We are issuing this AD to prevent interference between the upper closing rib and the rudder, which could result in a rudder jam and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. DATES: This AD becomes effective September 5, 2006. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of September 5, 2006. On July 22, 2004 (69 FR 33834, June 17, 2004), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain other publications listed in the AD. We must receive comments on this AD by October 20, 2006.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 777-200, -300, and -300ER 
Series Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a typographical error in an existing 
airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register 
on June 16, 2006 (71 FR 34808). The error resulted in a reference only 
to the left main fuel tank in paragraph (f)(2) of that AD rather than 
to both the left and right main fuel tanks. This AD applies to certain 
Boeing Model 777-200, -300, and -300ER series airplanes. This AD 
requires a one-time inspection of the first bonding jumper aft of the 
bulkhead fitting to detect damage or failure and to determine the 
mechanical integrity of its electrical bonding path, and repair if 
necessary; measurement of the bonding resistance between the fitting 
for the fuel feed tube and the front spar in the left and right main 
fuel tanks, and repairing the bonding if necessary; and application of 
additional sealant to completely cover the bulkhead fittings inside the 
fuel tanks.

DATES: Effective July 21, 2006.

ADDRESSES: The AD docket contains the proposed AD, comments, and any 
final disposition. You may 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. The Docket Management Facility office (telephone (800) 647-

Model 777-200, -300, and -300ER series airplanes. The AD requires a 
one-time inspection of the first bonding jumper aft of the bulkhead 
fitting to detect damage or failure and to determine the mechanical 
integrity of its electrical bonding path, and repair if necessary; 
measurement of the bonding resistance between the fitting for the fuel 
feed tube and the front spar in the left and right main fuel tanks, and

    As published, paragraph (f)(2) of that AD refers only to the left 
main fuel tank. The correct reference is ``left and right main fuel 
tanks.''
