#  [Corrected]

**AGENCY:**

Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in airworthiness directive (AD) 2005-03-12 that was published in the *Federal Register* on February 14, 2005 (70 FR 7386). The typographical error resulted in an incorrect AD number. This AD is applicable to certain Airbus Model A330, A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes. This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections of certain frame stiffeners to detect cracking and replacement of any cracked stiffener with a new, reinforced stiffener. Replacement of the stiffener constitutes terminating action for certain inspections. This AD also requires a one-time inspection of any new, reinforced stiffener; and repair or replacement of the new, reinforced stiffener if any cracking is found during the one-time inspection. This AD also provides for an optional terminating action for certain requirements of this AD.

**DATES:**

Effective March 21, 2005.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-03-12, amendment 39-13968, applicable to certain Airbus Model A330, A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes, was published in the *Federal Register* on February 14, 2005 (70 FR 7386). That AD requires initial and repetitive inspections of certain frame stiffeners to detect cracking and replacement of any cracked stiffener with a new, reinforced stiffener. Replacement of the stiffener constitutes terminating action for certain inspections. That AD also requires a one-time inspection of any new, reinforced stiffener; and repair or replacement of the new, reinforced stiffener if any cracking is found during the one-time inspection. That AD also provides for an optional terminating action for certain requirements of that AD.

As published, that final rule incorrectly specified the AD number in a single location in the AD as “2005-NM-03-12” instead of “2005-03-12.”

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 March 21, 2005.

**19 CFR Part 39**

§ 39.13
