Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-80 Series 
Airplanes and Model MD-88 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in 
the above-captioned airworthiness directive (AD), which was published 
in the Federal Register on April 22, 1997 (62 FR 19477). The 
typographical error resulted in reference to an alert service bulletin 
that does not exist.

DATES: Effective May 7, 1997.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in 
the regulations was previously approved by the Director of the Federal 
Register as of May 7, 1997 (62 FR 19477, April 22, 1997).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. Kirk Baker, Aerospace Engineer, 
Systems and Equipment Branch, ANM-130L, FAA, Los Angeles Aircraft 
Certification Office, 3960 Paramount Boulevard, Lakewood, California 
90712; telephone (562) 627-5345; fax (562) 627-5210.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 97-08-07, 
amendment 39-9995, applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-
80 series airplanes and Model MD-88 airplanes, was published in the 
Federal Register on April 22, 1997 (62 FR 19477). That AD supersedes an 
existing AD to continue to require an inspection to determine the type 
of fluorescent light ballasts installed in the cabin sidewall; and 
replacement, or removal/disconnection of the ballast, if necessary. 
That AD also continues to require, for some airplanes, removal of the 
dust barriers from the outboard ceiling panels, and installation of 
modified outboard ceiling panels. That AD also requires replacement of 
certain ballasts on which a protective cover is installed with other 
ballasts, or removal/disconnection of the ballast.
    As published, AD 97-08-07 contained a typographical error, which 
appeared in paragraph (c)(1) of the AD. The error indicated that the 
actions required by that paragraph were to be accomplished in 
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of ``Boeing Alert 
Service Bulletin MD80-33A110.'' However, no such alert service bulletin 
exists. The correct alert service bulletin reference is ``McDonnell 
Douglas Alert Service Bulletin MD80-33A110.'' (In all other parts of 
the published AD and its preamble, the alert service bulletin was cited 
correctly.)
    This document corrects the reference to the alert service bulletin 
cited in paragraph (c)(1) of AD-97-08-07, to read as follows:
* * * * *
    ``(1) Replace the Day-Ray Products Incorporated ballast and 
protective cover with a Bruce Industries Incorporated ballast, in 
accordance with Condition 2 of the Accomplishment Instructions of 
McDonnell Douglas Alert Service Bulletin MD80-33A110, dated February 
25, 1997, or Revision 1, dated March 11, 1997. Or''
* * * * *
    Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed, 
the final rule is not being republished.

    Issued in Renton, Washington on May 19, 1997.

Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
