Aging Airplane Safety; Correcting Amendment

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; disposition of comments; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document makes corrections to the Aging Airplane Safety 
final rule; disposition of comments published in the Federal Register 
on February 2, 2005 (70 FR 5518). In that document errors in the 
amendatory language caused certain subparagraphs in sections 121.368 
and 129.33 to be inadvertently retained.

DATES: Effective May 6, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frederick Sobeck, Aircraft Maintenance 
Division, AFS-308, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; 
telephone (202) 267-7355; facsimile (202) 267-5115.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 2, 2005, the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) published the ``Aging Airplane Safety'' final 
rule; disposition of comments. The provisions of that rule included 
requirements for certain airplanes to undergo inspections and records 
reviews at specified intervals. The FAA discussed in the preamble to 
the rule that we were amending Sec. Sec.  121.368 and 129.33 to remove 
the requirement for operators to provide the current status of both 
Corrosion Prevention and Control Programs and the inspections and 
procedures required under Sec.  121.370a as separate items. To 
accomplish this, we intended to remove subparagraphs i, ii, and iii of 
Sec. Sec.  121.368(d)(8) and 129.33(c)(8). Because of errors in the 
amendatory language, the subparagraphs were

[[Page 23936]]

incorrectly retained in the rule language. This document corrects the 
amendatory language to remove those subparagraphs.
