Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500 
Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in 
airworthiness directive (AD) 2004-04-03 that was published in the 
Federal Register on February 18, 2004 (69 FR 7565). The typographical 
error resulted in a reference to an incorrect effective date in the 
compliance time specified in Table 1 of the AD for Group 1 airplanes. 
This AD is applicable to certain Boeing Model 737 series airplanes. 
This AD requires a one-time general visual inspection of the seat locks 
and seat tracks of the flightcrew seats to ensure that the seats lock 
in position and to verify that lock nuts and bolts of adequate length 
are installed on the rear track lock bracket, and corrective action, if 
necessary.

DATES: Effective March 24, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shannon Lennon, Aerospace Engineer, 
Cabin Safety and Environmental Systems Branch, ANM-150S, FAA, Seattle 
Aircraft Certification Office, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, 
Washington; telephone (425) 917-6436; fax (425) 917-6590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2004-04-03, 
amendment 39-13483, applicable to certain Boeing Model 737 series 
airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on February 18, 2004 
(69 FR 7565). That AD requires a one-time general visual inspection of 
the seat locks and seat tracks of the flightcrew seats to ensure that 
the seats lock in position and to verify that lock nuts and bolts of 
adequate length are installed on the rear track lock bracket, and 
corrective action, if necessary.
    As published, that final rule incorrectly specifies ``September 26, 
2001'' as the effective date for AD 2000-10-21 in the compliance time 
specified for Group 1 airplanes in Table 1 of that final rule. The 
correct effective date of AD 2000-10-21 is ``June 12, 2000.'' It was 
the FAA's intent that operators use June 12, 2000, to determine the 
compliance time for Group 1 airplanes as specified in Table 1 of that 
final rule, as evidenced by the explanatory parenthetical reference 
``(the effective date of AD 2000-10-21, amendment 39-11745).''
    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.
