14 CFR Part 39
[Docket No. 2000-NM-329-AD; Amendment 39-11988; AD 2000-23-16]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Series Airplanes
Powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D-3 and -7 Series Engines
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects a minor error that appeared in
airworthiness directive (AD) 2000-23-16, that was published in the
Federal Register on November 21, 2000 (65 FR 69862). The error resulted
in a reference to a part number that does not exist. That AD is
applicable to certain Boeing Model 747 series airplanes, and requires
repetitive inspections and torque checks of the hanger fittings and
strut forward bulkhead of the forward engine mount and adjacent support
structure, and corrective actions, if necessary. That AD also provides
for optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections and
checks.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective December 6, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2000-23-16,
amendment 39-11988, applicable to certain Boeing Model 747 series
airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2000
(65 FR 69862). That AD requires repetitive inspections and torque
checks of the hanger fittings and strut forward bulkhead of the forward
engine mount and adjacent support structure, and corrective actions, if
necessary. That AD also provides for optional terminating action for
the repetitive inspections and checks.
As published, the amendment contained a minor error in Note 4 which
identifies installation of two ``BACW10BP* auxiliary power unit''
washers. However, this part number does not exist, the correct part
number is ``BACW10BP*APU.'' The letters ``APU'' were inadvertently
defined as an acronym meaning ``auxiliary power unit.'' In all other
respects, the original document is correct.
Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed,
the final rule is not being republished.
The effective date of this AD remains December 6, 2000.
Sec. 39.13 [Corrected]
On page 69864, in the third column, Note 4 of AD 2000-23-16 is
corrected to read as follows:
2000-23-16 Boeing: Amendment 39-11988, Docket 2000-NM-329-AD.
* * * * *
Note 4: Installation of two BACW10BP*APU washers on Group A
fasteners accomplished prior to the effective date of this AD in
accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 747-54A2159, dated November
3, 1994, Revision 1, dated June 1, 1995, or Revision 2, dated March
14, 1996; and pin or bolt protrusion as specified in the 747
Structural Repair Manual, Chapter 51-30-02 (both referenced in
Boeing Alert
[[Page 80302]]
Service Bulletin 747-54A2203, dated August 31, 2000); is considered
acceptable for compliance with the terminating action specified in
paragraph (b) of this AD.
