AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error that appeared in airworthiness 
directive (AD) 2002-16-22 (final rule, correction) that was published 
in the Federal Register on August 16, 2004 (69 FR 50299). The error 
resulted in an incorrect reference to certain supplemental type 
certificates. This AD is applicable to certain Boeing Model 727 series 
airplanes that have been converted from a passenger- to a cargo-
carrying (``freighter'') configuration. This AD requires, among other 
actions, installation of a fail-safe hinge, redesigned main deck cargo 
door warning and power control systems, and 9g crash barrier.

DATES: Effective September 19, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: M. Hassan Amani, Aerospace Engineer, 
Airframe Branch, ACE-117A, FAA, Atlanta Aircraft Certification Office, 
One Crown Center, 1895 Phoenix Boulevard, suite 450, Atlanta, Georgia

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-16-22, 
amendment 39-12861, applicable to certain Boeing Model 727 series 
airplanes that have been converted from a passenger- to a cargo-
carrying (``freighter'') configuration, was published in the Federal 
Register on August 15, 2002 (67 FR 53434). That AD requires, among 
other actions, installation of a fail-safe hinge, redesigned main deck 
cargo door warning and power control systems, and 9g crash barrier.
    On August 16, 2004, we issued a final rule, correction (69 FR 
50299, August 16, 2004), to AD 2002-16-22. The final rule, correction 
corrects an error that resulted in an incorrect reference to a 
supplemental type certificate. As published, the title of final rule, 
correction states ``Boeing Model 727 Series Airplanes Modified with 
Supplemental Type Certificate SA1767S0 or SA1768SO.'' However, the 
correct applicable supplemental type certificates (STC) are SA1444SO, 
SA1509SO, SA1543SO, or SA1896SO, as specified in AD 2002-16-22.
    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 September 19, 2002.
