AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in 
airworthiness directive (AD) 2004-24-06 that was published in the 
Federal Register on November 30, 2004 (69 FR 69505). The typographical 
error resulted in incorrect reference to certain main landing gear 
(MLG) part numbers as retract actuator bracket attachment bolt (RABAB) 
part numbers. This AD is applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB SF340A 
and SAAB 340B series airplanes. This AD requires replacement of the 
RABAB of the MLG with a new RABAB; reidentification of the MLG shock 
strut; an inspection for corrosion, fretting, or other damage of 
certain RABABs; and applicable corrective actions.

DATES: Effective January 4, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dan Rodina, Aerospace Engineer; 
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 
1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056; telephone (425) 
227-2125; fax (425) 227-1149.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2004-24-06, 
amendment 39-13882, applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB SF340A and 
SAAB 340B series airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on 
November 30, 2004 (69 FR 69505). That AD requires replacement of the 
retract actuator bracket attachment bolt (RABAB) of the main landing 
gear (MLG) with a new RABAB; reidentification of the MLG shock strut; 
an inspection for corrosion, fretting, or other damage of certain 
RABABs; and applicable corrective actions.
    As published, the AD contains an incorrect reference to the old 
RABAB part number. Instead of the RABAB part number, certain MLG 
assembly part numbers were listed as RABAB part numbers.
    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 January 4, 2005.
