AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in airworthiness directive (AD) 2002-16-06 that was published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2002 (67 FR 52398). The typographical error resulted in specifying an incorrect serial number for the auxiliary power unit (APU) exhaust silencer. This AD is applicable to certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135 and -145 series airplanes. This AD requires determining whether a defective APU exhaust silencer is installed on the airplane; and corrective actions, if necessary.

DATES:

Effective August 27, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-16-06, amendment 39-12845, applicable to certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135 and -145 series airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2002 (67 FR 52398). That AD requires determining whether a defective APU exhaust silencer is installed on the airplane; and corrective actions, if necessary.

As published, paragraph (a) of AD 2002-16-06 incorrectly specifies serial number M01-0327 through “N01-0336.” The correct serial number is M01-0327 through “M01-0336.”

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 August 27, 2002.

§ 39.13

[Corrected]

On page 52400, in the third column, paragraph (a) of AD 2002-16-06 is corrected to read as follows:
