## The airworthiness directive

### Correction of the Publication

Accordingly, the publication on February 13, 2004 of the final rule (AD 2004-03-27), which was the subject of FR Doc. 04-2782, is corrected as follows:

On page 7114, in the second column, the AD number listed as “2002-SW-45-AD” that appears in bold text just before “Eurocopter France,” the manufacturer name, is corrected to read “2004-03-27.”

Uday Garadi, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, Rotorcraft Directorate, Safety Management Group, Fort Worth, Texas 76193-0110, telephone (817) 222-5123, fax (817) 222-5961.

### SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

The FAA issued a final rule AD 2004-03-27, on January 30, 2004 (69 FR 7113, February 13, 2004). The following correction is needed:

The AD number on page 7114 is incorrectly listed as 2002-SW-45-AD, which is the AD Docket Number; the correct AD number is 2004-03-27. Therefore, the AD number needs correcting.

Since no other part of the regulatory information has been revised, the final rule is not being republished.
