As published, the Type Certificate (TC) holder name appears as “BOEING” in the regulatory text of the AD. The correct TC holder name is McDonnell Douglas, which is correctly referenced throughout the preamble of the the AD.

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 October 27, 2003.
