Airworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. PA-23, PA-
30, PA-31, PA-34, and PA-42 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document makes a correction to a proposed Airworthiness 
Directive (AD); notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); Docket No. 97-CE-
61-AD, which was published in the Federal Register on September 16, 
1997 (62 FR 48546), and is applicable to The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. 
(Piper) PA-23, PA-30, PA-31, PA-34, and PA-42 series airplanes. This 
NPRM incorrectly shows the proposed applicability in Section 39.13 of 
the proposed AD as Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Models E55, 
E55A, 58, 58A, 58P, 58PA, 58TC, 58TCA airplanes and 60, 65-B80, 65-B90, 
90, F90, 100, 300, and B300 series airplanes. The NPRM currently 
proposes airplane flight manual (AFM) limitations for recognizing and 
exiting severe icing conditions. This action corrects the applicability 
in Section 39.13 of Docket No. 97-CE-61-AD.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in triplicate to the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA), Central Region, Office of the Regional Counsel, 
Attention: Rules Docket No. 97-CE-61-AD, Room 1558, 601 E. 12th Street, 
Kansas City, Missouri 64106. Comments may be inspected at this location 
between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, holidays excepted.
    This information also may be examined at the Rules Docket at the 
address above.

Engineer, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On September 9, 1997, the FAA issued NPRM, Docket 97-CE-61-AD, (62 
FR 48546, September 16, 1997), which applies to Piper Models PA-23, PA-
23-160, PA-23-235, PA-23-250, PA-E23-250, PA-30, PA-39, PA-40, PA-31, 
PA-31-300, PA-31-325, PA-31-350, PA-34-200, PA-34-200T, PA-34-220T, PA-
42, PA-42-720, and PA-42-1000 airplanes. This NPRM incorrectly 
references the applicability in Section 39.13 of the proposed AD as 
Raytheon Models E55, E55A, 58, 58A, 58P, 58PA, 58TC, 58TCA airplanes 
and 60, 65-B80, 65-B90, 90, F90, 100, 300, and B300 series airplanes.

Need for the Correction

    This NPRM Docket No. 97-CE-61-AD, currently has the wrong 
applicability in Section 39.13 of the proposed AD. If the applicability 
is not changed, owners/operators of Piper and Raytheon model airplanes 
will not know which airplanes are effected by the NPRM.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of September 16, 1997 (62 FR 48546), 
which was the subject of FR Doc. 97-24493, is corrected as follows: On 
page 48548, in the third column, starting on the 30th line in Section 
39.13, correct:

``Raytheon Aircraft Company: Docket No. 97-CE-61-AD.

    Applicability: Models E55, E55A, 58, 58A, 58P, 58PA, 58TC, 58TCA 
Airplanes and 60, 65-B80, 65-B90, 90, F90, 100, 300, and B300 Series 
Airplanes, certificated in any category.'' to read:

``The New Piper Aircraft, Inc.: Docket No. 97-CE-61-AD.

    Applicability: Models PA-23, PA-23-160, PA-23-235, PA-23-250, 
PA-E23-250, PA-30, PA-39, PA-40, PA-31, PA-31-300, PA-31-325, PA-31-
350, PA-34-200, PA-34-200T, PA-34-220T, PA-42, PA-42-720, and PA-42-
1000 airplanes, certificated in any category.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri on October 1, 1997.
