ACTION: Final rule; correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to certain Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes; Model A330-200 and A330-300 series airplanes; Model A340-200 and A340-300 series airplanes; Model A340-500 series airplanes; and Model A340-600 series airplanes. Table 1 to paragraph (j) of the regulatory text contains typographical errors regarding certain part numbers (P/Ns). This document corrects those errors. In all other respects, the original document remains the same. DATES: This final rule is effective August 16, 2016. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 16, 2016 (81 FR 44983, July 12, 2016).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive 2016-14-01, Amendment 39-18582 (81 FR 44983, July 12, 2016) (``AD 2016-14-01''), currently requires identification of the manufacturer, part number, and serial number of the ram air turbine (RAT), and re-identification and modification of the RAT if necessary, for certain Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes; Model A330-200 and A330-300 series airplanes; Model A340-200 and A340-300 series airplanes; Model A340-500 series airplanes; and Model A340-600 series airplanes. Need for the Correction As published, table 1 to paragraph (j) of the regulatory text contains typographical errors in two part numbers. Table 1 to paragraph (j) of the AD incorrectly refers to RAT P/Ns 1720934C and 1720934D. Those part numbers should have been 1702934C and 1702934D. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 Airbus has issued the following service information, which describes procedures for identifying the supplier, part number, and serial number of the [[Page 51098]] installed RAT actuator; modifying the RAT; and re-identifying the RAT actuator and RAT.Service Bulletin A330-29-3126, dated June 12, 2014. Service Bulletin A340-29-4097, dated June 12, 2014. Service Bulletin A340-29-5025, dated June 16, 2014. Hamilton Sundstrand has issued Service Bulletins ERPS06M-29-21, Revision 1, dated April 14, 2015; and ERPS33T-29-7, dated June 6, 2014. This service information describes procedures for identifying the affected RAT actuator and RAT part numbers and serial numbers, modifying affected actuators, and re-identifying affected RAT actuators and RATs. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section. Correction of Publication This document corrects an error and correctly adds the AD as an amendment to 14 CFR 39.13. Although no other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been corrected, we are publishing the entire rule in the Federal Register. The effective date of this AD remains August 16, 2016. Since this action only corrects typographical errors, it has no adverse economic impact and imposes no additional burden on any person. Therefore, we have determined that notice and public procedures are unnecessary. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Correction Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows: PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 0 1.
