Accordingly, pursuant to the

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.
[Corrected]
2. The FAA corrects § 39.13 by
correcting the airworthiness directive
published at 88 FR 42598 (July 3, 2023)
to read:

(a) Effective Date
This airworthiness directive (AD) is
effective August 7, 2023.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2023–0004, dated January
6, 2023, describes new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations for
airplane structures and safe life limits.
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.
Correction of Publication
This document corrects an error and
correctly adds the AD as an amendment
to 14 CFR 39.13. Although no other part
of the preamble or regulatory
information has been corrected, the
FAA is publishing the entire rule in the
Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Electronic Availability
This document and additional
information concerning OFAC are
available on OFAC’s website: https://

Background
On February 7, 2020, OFAC issued
the Mali Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR
part 555 (85 FR 7223, February 7, 2020)
(the ‘‘Regulations’’), to implement
Executive Order (E.O.) 13882 of July 26,
2019, ‘‘Blocking Property and
Suspending Entry of Certain Persons
Contributing to the Situation in Mali’’
(84 FR 37055, July 30, 2019), pursuant
to authorities delegated to the Secretary
of the Treasury in E.O. 13882. The
Regulations were initially issued in
abbreviated form for the purpose of
providing immediate guidance to the
public. OFAC is revising the
Regulations to further implement E.O.
13882. OFAC is amending and reissuing
the Regulations as a more
comprehensive set of regulations that
includes additional interpretive
guidance and definitions, general
licenses, and other regulatory provisions
that will provide further guidance to the
public. Due to the number of regulatory
sections being updated or added, OFAC
is reissuing the Regulations in their
entirety.
On July 26, 2019, the President,
invoking the authority of, inter alia, the
International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)
(IEEPA) and the United Nations
Participation Act (22 U.S.C. 287c)
(UNPA), issued E.O. 13882. In E.O.
13882, the President determined that

violations of ceasefire arrangements
made pursuant to the 2015 Agreement
on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali; the
expansion of terrorist activities into
southern and central Mali; the
intensification of drug trafficking and
trafficking in persons, human rights
abuses, and hostage-taking; and the

institutions in Mali; (C) a hostile act in
violation of, or an act that obstructs,
including by prolonged delay, or
threatens the implementation of, the
2015 Agreement on Peace and
Reconciliation in Mali; (D) planning,
directing, sponsoring, or conducting
attacks against local, regional, or state
institutions, the Malian defense and
security forces, any international
security presences, MINUSMA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
AD 2023-12-03, Amendment 39-22461 (88 FR 42598, July 3, 2023) (AD
2023-12-03), requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits.
That AD applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041
airplanes.
Need for the Correction
As published, paragraph (i) in the regulatory text of AD 2023-12-03
is incorrect. Paragraph (i) of AD 2023-12-03 refers to ``EASA AD 2023-
0017.'' The correct reference is ``EASA AD 2023-0004.''
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2023-0004, dated January 6, 2023, describes new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and safe
life limits. 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.
Correction of Publication
This document corrects an error and correctly adds the AD as an
amendment to 14 CFR 39.13. Although no other part of the preamble or
regulatory information has been corrected, the FAA is publishing the
entire rule in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains August 7, 2023.
Since this action only corrects an EASA AD reference, it has no
adverse economic impact and imposes no additional burden on any person.
Therefore, the FAA has determined that notice and public procedures are
unnecessary.
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 FAA amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation
