Airworthiness Directives; Saab Model SAAB 340B Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that 
is applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 340B series airplanes. This 
amendment requires adjustment of the cargo baggage net, replacement of 
baggage net placards, and installation of new baggage net placards. 
This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing 
airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. 
The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent failure of the 
cargo bulkhead floor attachments, which could result in damage to the 
airplane structure and possible injury to passengers and crewmembers.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule published at 63 FR 16884 was 
effective on July 6, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Norman B. Martenson, Manager, 
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 
1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056; telephone (425) 
227-2110; fax (425) 227-1149.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule 
with request for comments in the Federal Register on April 7, 1998 (63 
FR 16884). The FAA uses the direct final rulemaking procedure for a 
non-controversial rule where the FAA anticipates that there will be no 
adverse public comment. This direct final rule advised the public that 
no adverse comments were anticipated, and that unless a written adverse 
comment, or a written notice of intent to submit such an adverse 
comment, was received within the comment period, the regulation would 
become effective on July 6, 1998. Comments were received that were not 
adverse, and thus this notice confirms that this final rule will become 
effective on that date. The FAA's response to those comments are 
included in the docket for this AD action.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on July 14, 1998.
Darrell M. Pederson,
Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
