## Summary

The FAA is correcting a typographical error in an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register on February 11, 2005 (70 FR 7174). The error resulted in an incorrect AD number. This AD applies to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed and eddy current inspections of the aft pressure bulkhead for damage and cracking, and repair if necessary. This AD also requires one-time detailed and high frequency eddy current inspections of any “oil-can” located on the aft pressure bulkhead, and related corrective actions if necessary.

## The airworthiness directive

In the Federal Register of February 11, 2005, on page 7175, in the first column, paragraph 2. of PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES is corrected to read as follows:

2005-03-11 Boeing: Amendment 39-13967. Docket No. FAA-2004-19446; Directorate Identifier 2004-NM-130-AD.

### SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

On January 31, 2005, the FAA issued AD 2005-03-11, amendment 39-13967 (70 FR 7174, February 11, 2005), for certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes. The AD requires repetitive detailed and eddy current inspections of the aft pressure bulkhead for damage and cracking, and repair if necessary. The AD also requires one-time detailed and high frequency eddy current inspections of any “oil-can” located on the aft pressure bulkhead, and related corrective actions if necessary.

As published, that final rule incorrectly specified the AD number in a single location in the AD as “2005-NM-03-11” instead of “2005-03-11.”

No other part of the regulatory information has been changed; therefore, the final rule is not republished in the Federal Register.

The effective date of this AD remains March 18, 2005.
