SUPPLEMENTARY IMFORMATION:

Background

    The most recent edition of Title 14 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) published in 2003 included an error that, when 
corrected, produced another error that now needs to be corrected. The 
original error was that we listed Sec.  135.423 as the section number 
for two different sections that should have had separate section 
numbers. These two sections were supposed to be numbered 135.423 and 
135.424. In 2003, we corrected this error by changing the section 
numbers so that the following headings went with the appropriate 
number:

     Sec.  135.423 Aging airplane inspections and 
records reviews for multiengine airplanes certificated with nine or 
fewer passenger seats (Eff. Dec. 8, 2003)
     Sec.  135.424 Maintenance, preventive 
maintenance, and alteration organization
    In February 2004, it was brought to our attention that there was a 
reference to Sec.  135.423 in the regulations found in Sec.  
135.427(a). The reference to Sec.  135.423 was accurate before we 
corrected the two similar section numbers, but since the numbers have 
been corrected, the reference is now wrong. The reference in Sec.  
135.427(a) is meant to point the reader to the section on 
``Maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alteration organization,'' 
which is now Sec.  135.424.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations in Sec.  135.427(a) are 
misleading and send the reader to the wrong section when referring to 
what is required in their manual. The incorrect section number 
referenced in Sec.  135.427(a) does not direct the reader to the right 
information and could result in the reader not meeting the requirements 
of the section. This reference needs to be corrected so that the reader 
is directed to the correct section and provided with the correct 
information necessary to meet the requirements for a certificate 
holder's manual.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 135

    Air taxis, Aircraft, Airmen, Alcohol abuse, Aviation safety, Drug 
abuse, Drug testing, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Accordingly, 14 CFR part 135 is corrected by making the following

performance of any of its required inspections, other maintenance, 
preventive maintenance, or alterations, including a general description 
of that work.
