## Discrepancy

DURING C CHECK INSPECTION, THE AFT SHEAR PLATE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FUSELAGE, JUST AFT OF FRAME 69, HAD FOUR BLIND FASTENERS SHEARED.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED THE SHEARED FASTENERS, REPLACED THE SHEAR PLATE AND INSTALLED A NEW SHEAR PLATE AND FASTENERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SRM 51-42-11.  FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THE MAINTENANCE ACTION, THE SHEAR PLATE INSTALLATION WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE ACCEPTABLE.
