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. We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD. See the AD docket to examine the economic evaluation. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows: ■ PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2.

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was 
published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to the products

paragraph (f)(2), and in Figure 1, we incorrectly stated the mailing 
address for the report. We are issuing this document to help eliminate 
any confusion that this AD may have created in the Information Heading 
and in the SUMMARY and Unsafe Condition sections. This document 
corrects those errors. In all other respects, the original document 
remains the same.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive 2008-26-10, 
Amendment 39-15776 (73 FR 78939, December 24, 2008), currently requires 
inspecting the alternate static air source selector valve to assure 
that the part number identification placard does not obstruct the 
alternate static air source selector valve port. If the part number 
identification placard obstructs the port, this AD also requires 
removing the placard, assuring that the port is unobstructed, and 
reporting to the FAA if obstruction is found for certain Cessna 172,

    As published, the Information Heading and the Summary sections of 
the AD incorrectly included Cessna 188 series airplanes. The Unsafe 
Condition section is incorrectly designated as paragraph (e) instead of 
paragraph (d). Also, the mailing address for the report specified in 
the Compliance section, paragraph (f)(2), and in Figure 1 is 
incorrectly stated as 1804 instead of 1801.
    No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been
