## Discrepancy

DURING THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF EO 4-58560-3AD, A CRACK WAS DETECTED IN A FASTENER HOLE IN THE VERTICAL FLANGE OF THE RIB CHORD AT BS 760.95.  REMOVAL OF THE CRACK IN THE RIB CHORD RESULTED IN THE INADVERTENT OVERSIZING OF THE FUSELAGE SKIN AT THIS LOCATION, AS WELL AS AN ADJACENT FASTENER.  THE BS 760.95 FRAME WAS NOT OVERSIZED.
