[Docket No. 95-NM-124-AD; Amendment 39-9687; AD 96-14-05]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects information that appeared in
airworthiness directive (AD) 96-14-05, amendment 39-9687, which was
published in the Federal Register on July 9, 1996 (61 FR 35938). This
AD is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes. Among
other things, it supersedes a previously issued AD, requires
inspections of the control rods of the outboard leading edge slat, and
requires the installation of a modification that terminates the
requirement for repetitive inspections. This action corrects the listed
line numbers of airplanes subject to certain parts of the rule.
DATES: Effective August 13, 1996.
The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations was previously approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of August 13, 1996 (61 FR 35938, July 9, 1996).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristin Larson, Aerospace Engineer,
Systems and Equipment Branch, ANM-130S, FAA, Seattle Aircraft
Certification Office, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington;
telephone (206) 227-1760; fax (206) 227-1181.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 27, 1996, the FAA issued AD 96-14-
05, amendment 39-9687; (61 FR 35938, July 9, 1996), which is applicable
to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes and supersedes AD 90-20-
16, amendment 39-6726 (55 FR 37858, September 14, 1990). That AD
requires a one-time visual inspection to determine the date of
manufacture of the control rods of the outboard leading edge slat, and
follow-on actions (i.e., repetitive ultrasonic inspection), if
necessary. It also requires replacement of the control rod ends and
attach bolts, for certain airplanes. For operators accomplishing the
(follow-on) repetitive ultrasonic inspections, the AD requires the
replacement of the control rod with a new control rod manufactured
after June 1983; this replacement constitutes terminating action for
the repetitive inspections.
As published, paragraph (b) of AD 96-14-05 indicated that only
certain airplanes were subject to its requirements. Those airplanes
were specified as ones having line numbers ``1 through 264 inclusive,
and 266 through 273 inclusive.'' However, due to a typographical error,
the final number in this sequence of line numbers was incorrect: what
was published as line number ``273,'' should have been line number
``272.'' The airplane having line number 273 is not subject to the
requirements of paragraph (b) of this AD.
Action is taken herein to correct this typographical error in
paragraph (b).
Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed,
the final rule is not being republished.
The effective date of the AD remains August 13, 1996.
Accordingly, the final rule document (FR DOC. 96-16950), which was
published on July 9, 1996, at 61 FR 35938, is corrected as follows:
Sec. 39.13 [Corrected]
On page 35940, in the second column, the text of paragraph (b) of
AD 96-14-05, amendment 39-9687, is corrected to read as follows:

39-6726, whichever occurs first, replace the control rod end and attach
bolt with a new configuration control rod end and attach bolt on each
wing, in accordance
