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
