  SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive 2016-08-18, 
  Amendment 39-18495 (81 FR 26106, May 2, 2016), currently requires 
  inspecting the fuel hose assembly and the turbocharger support assembly 
  for proper clearance between them, inspecting each assembly for any 
  sign of damage, and making any necessary repairs or replacements for 
  certain Piper Aircraft, Inc. Model PA-31-350 airplanes.
      As published, the wing locations of engine TIO-540-JJ2B and LTIO-
  540-J2B in table 1 of the Applicability, paragraph (c), section are 
  incorrect. This document corrects that error.
      Although no other part of the preamble or regulatory information 
  has been corrected, we are publishing the entire rule in the Federal 
  Register.
      The effective date of this AD remains June 6, 2016.
