SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background AD 2023–21–06, Amendment 39– 22578 (88 FR 76114, November 6, 2023) (AD 2023–21–06), requires installing structural reinforcements on certain monuments and replacing certain floor support rivets, as specified in ANAC AD 2023–05–03, effective June 2, 2023 (ANAC AD 2023–05–03), for certain Embraer Model EMB–505 airplanes. Need for Correction As published, two references to the ANAC AD in the preamble Background section of AD 2023–21–06 are incorrect. The Background section refers to the ANAC AD as ‘‘ANAC AD 2023–04–01’’ in two places. The correct reference is ‘‘ANAC AD 2023–05–03.’’ Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 ANAC AD 2023–05–03 specifies procedures for installing structural reinforcements on certain monuments and replacing applicable fasteners on the floor support. This material is reasonably available because the interested parties have PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in ADDRESSES. Correction of Publication This document corrects two errors 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 December 11, 2023. Since this action only corrects two incorrect references to an ANAC AD in the preamble Background section, it has no adverse economic impact and imposes no additional burden on any person. Therefore, the FAA has determined that notice and public comment procedures are unnecessary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    AD 2023-21-06, Amendment 39-22578 (88 FR 76114, November 6, 2023) 
(AD 2023-21-06), requires installing structural reinforcements on 
certain monuments and replacing certain floor support rivets, as 
specified in ANAC AD 2023-05-03, effective June 2, 2023 (ANAC AD 2023-
05-03), for certain Embraer Model EMB-505 airplanes.

Need for Correction

    As published, two references to the ANAC AD in the preamble 
Background section of AD 2023-21-06 are incorrect. The Background 
section refers to the ANAC AD as ``ANAC AD 2023-04-01'' in two places. 
The correct reference is ``ANAC AD 2023-05-03.''

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    ANAC AD 2023-05-03 specifies procedures for installing structural 
reinforcements on certain monuments and replacing applicable fasteners 
on the floor support.
    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 ADDRESSES.

Correction of Publication

    This document corrects two errors 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 December 11, 2023.
    Since this action only corrects two incorrect references to an ANAC 
AD in the preamble Background section, it has no adverse economic 
impact and imposes no additional burden on any person. Therefore, the 
FAA has determined that notice and public comment procedures are 
unnecessary.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by 
reference, Safety.

The Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the

identified the need for installing structural reinforcements and 
replacing applicable floor support rivets. The FAA is issuing this

the Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA; ANAC; or ANAC's
