What this historical correction says

Source publication 1996-07-30 · Document 96-19277.

The notice publishes only a correction fragment. The summary or discussion below is not a complete applicability clause or a complete model list.

Need for the Correction

    Paragraph (a)(2) of the AD incorrectly references the date for the 
instructions to Piper Kit 763-917 as ``revised June 18, 1980'' instead 
of ``revised June 18, 1990.'' Affected individuals who try to obtain 
these instructions as currently referenced would not be able to because 
(as referenced as June 18, 1980) the instructions do not exist.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of June 6, 1996 (61 FR 28732), of 
Amendment 39-9654; AD 96-12-12, which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-
14174, is corrected as follows:


Section 39.13  [Corrected]

    On page 28733, in the third column, section 39.13, paragraph (a) 
(2) of the AD, the 13th line from the top of the column, correct 
``revised June 18, 1980'' to ``revised June 18, 1990.''
    Action is taken herein to correct this reference in AD 96-12-12 and 
to add this AD correction to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (14 CFR 39.13). The effective date remains July 16, 1996.

Original date wording

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 16, 1996.
