#  [Corrected]

**AGENCY:**

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT).

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

The FAA is correcting a typographical error in an existing  airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the *Federal Register* on March 11, 2010. The error resulted in an imprecise compliance time in a table. This AD applies to certain Airbus Model A300 B2-1C, B2-203, B2K-3C, B4-103, B4-203, B4-2C airplanes; Model A310 series airplanes; and Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-605R, B4-620, B4-622, and B4-622R airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections to detect cracks of the pylon side panels (upper section) at rib 8; and corrective actions if necessary.

**DATES:**

This correction is effective May 4, 2010. The effective date of AD 2010-06-04 remains April 15, 2010.

**ADDRESSES:**

You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at *http://www.regulations.gov* ; or in person at the Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information. The address for the Docket Office (telephone 800-647-5527) is the Document Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

On March 4, 2010, the FAA issued AD 2010-06-04, Amendment 39-16228 (75 FR 11428, March 11, 2010), for certain Airbus Model A300 B2-1C, B2-203, B2K-3C, B4-103, B4-203, B4-2C airplanes; Model A310 series airplanes; and Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-605R, B4-620, B4-622, and B4-622R airplanes. The AD requires repetitive inspections to detect cracks of the pylon side panels (upper section) at rib 8; and corrective actions if necessary.

As published, Table 1 of this AD contained a typographical error in the second row in the second column. The compliance time of “>17,500 total flight <sup>1</sup> ” has been corrected to read ”>17,500 total flight cycles <sup>1</sup> .” (The word “cycles” was omitted in the AD.)

No other part of the regulatory information has been changed; therefore, the final rule is not republished in the *Federal Register* .

The effective date of this AD remains April 15, 2010.

**14 CFR Part 39**

§ 39.13

In the *Federal Register* of March 11, 2010, on page 11430, in the second row in the second column, Table 1 of AD 2010-06-04 is corrected to read as follows:
