[Docket No. 2004-NM-03-AD; Amendment 39-13514; AD 2004-05-19]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -
800, and -900 Series Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects an error that appeared in airworthiness
directive (AD) 2004-05-19 that was published in the Federal Register on
March 9, 2004 (69 FR 10921). The error resulted in the omission of the
phrase ``whichever occurs first'' in a certain grace period for the
initial compliance time. This AD is applicable to all Boeing Model 737-
600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes. This AD requires an
inspection of the rear spar attach pins and front spar attach bolts
that attach the horizontal stabilizers to the horizontal stabilizer
center section for damage; and follow-on or corrective actions, as
applicable.
DATES: Effective March 24, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2004-05-19,
amendment 39-13514, applicable to all Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -
700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes, was
[[Page 19314]]
published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2004 (69 FR 10921). That
AD requires an inspection of the rear spar attach pins and front spar
attach bolts that attach the horizontal stabilizers to the horizontal
stabilizer center section for damage; and follow-on or corrective
actions, as applicable.
As published, in the second row of the ``Grace Period'' column of
Table 1 of AD 2004-05-19, the phrase ``whichever occurs first'' was
inadvertently omitted. The correct grace period should have read, ``For
airplanes on which Boeing Service Bulletin 737-55-1074, dated August
15, 2002, has been done as of the effective date of this AD: Within 24
months or 6,000 flight cycles since accomplishment of the service
bulletin, whichever occurs first.''
Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed,
the final rule is not being republished in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains March 24, 2004.
Sec. 39.13 [Corrected]
On page 10922, in the third column, and on page 10933, in the first
column, Table 1 of paragraph (a) of AD 2004-05-19 is corrected to read
