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, -200 Freighter, and -300 series airplanes, and all Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. As published, six paragraph references located in three tables of that AD are incorrect. This document corrects the errors. In all other respects, the original document remains the same. DATES: This correction is effective March 16, 2018. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of March 16, 2018 (83 FR 5689, February 9, 2018).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As published, Airworthiness Directive 2018- 02-17, Amendment 39-19170 (83 FR 5689, February 9, 2018) (``AD 2018-02- 17''), requires repetitive inspections of certain cargo doors, and repair if necessary, a one-time inspection and adjustment of certain hook gaps, reinforcement of the door frame structure, related investigative and corrective actions if necessary, and a modification. That AD applies to certain Airbus Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, and - 300 series airplanes, and all Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. Need for the Correction As published, six paragraph references located in three tables of AD 2018-02-17 are incorrect. Table 1 to paragraph (h)(1) of AD 2018-02-17 refers to paragraphs (r)(1) and (r)(2) of that AD. Table 2 and table 3 to paragraph (l)(1) of AD 2018-02-17 refer to paragraphs (r)(3) and (r)(4) of that AD. In the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) (82 FR 37360, August 10, 2017), these references were correct. However, during the development of the final rule for AD 2018-02-17, paragraph (r) was redesignated as paragraph (s) but the references to paragraph (r) were not updated accordingly. Where the tables in AD 2018-02-17 refer to paragraphs (r)(1), (r)(2), (r)(3), and (r)(4), the correct references are paragraphs (s)(1), (s)(2), (s)(3), and (s)(4) of this AD.

Correction of Publication This document corrects several errors 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 March 16, 2018. Since this action only corrects paragraph references, 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. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. Sec. 39.13 [Corrected] 0 2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD): 2018-02-17 Airbus: Amendment 39-19170; Docket No. FAA-2017-0713; Product Identifier 2016-NM-199-AD. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective March 16, 2018. (b) Affected ADs This AD replaces AD 2012-12-12, Amendment 39-17092 (77 FR 37797, June 25, 2012); and AD 2013-16-26, Amendment 39-17564 (78 FR 53640, August 30, 2013). (c) Applicability This AD applies to the Airbus airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers, except those on which Airbus Modification 202702 and Modification 202790 have been embodied in production; and the Airbus airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(3) through (c)(5) of this AD, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers. (1) Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -223F, -243, and -243F airplanes. (2) Model A330-301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes. (3) Model A340-211, -212, and -213 airplanes.

We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracked or ruptured cargo door frames, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the forward or aft cargo door. [[Page 9803]] (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Affected Cargo Doors For the purpose of this AD, the affected cargo doors are pre- modification 202702 (forward cargo door) and pre-modification 202790 (aft cargo door), and are listed by part number (P/N) in the applicable service information identified in paragraph (h)(1) or (l)(1) of this AD. For post-modification doors, which are not affected by this AD, the part numbers are identified as F52370900XXX (forward cargo door) and F52372315XXX (aft cargo door), where ``XXX'' can be a combination of any three numerical digits. (h) Forward Cargo Door Repetitive Inspections (1) Before exceeding 5,300 total flight cycles since first installation of the forward cargo door on an airplane, or within the applicable compliance time specified in table 1 to paragraph (h)(1) of this AD, whichever occurs later, except as specified in paragraph (q) of this AD: Do all applicable detailed and high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of all frame fork areas, frame head areas, and outer skin areas of each affected forward cargo door, as applicable; in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service information specified in paragraph (h)(1)(i), (h)(1)(ii), or (h)(1)(iii) of this AD.
