Federal Register Abstract

The FAA is correcting an inadvertent error in an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register on June 12, 2006 (71 FR 33606). The error resulted in an incorrect reference to the airplane manufacturer instead of the TSO holder. This AD applies to Goodrich evacuation systems approved under TSO-C69b and installed on certain Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model A340-541 and -642 airplanes. This AD requires inspecting to determine the part number of the pressure relief valves on the affected Goodrich evacuation systems, and corrective action if necessary.

Airworthiness Directives; Goodrich Evacuation Systems Approved 
Under Technical Standard Order (TSO) TSO-C69b and Installed on Airbus 
Model A330-200 and -300 Series Airplanes, Model A340-200 and -300 
Series Airplanes, and Model A340-541 and -642 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an inadvertent error in an existing 
airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register 
on June 12, 2006 (71 FR 33606). The error resulted in an incorrect 
reference to the airplane manufacturer instead of the TSO holder. This 
AD applies to Goodrich evacuation systems approved under TSO-C69b and 
installed on certain Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, 
Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model A340-541 and -642 
airplanes. This AD requires inspecting to determine the part number of 
the pressure relief valves on the affected Goodrich evacuation systems, 
and corrective action if necessary.

DATES: Effective July 17, 2006.

ADDRESSES: The AD docket contains the proposed AD, comments, and any 
final disposition. You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at 
<a href="http://dms.dot.gov">http://dms.dot.gov</a>, or in person at the Docket Management Facility 
office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. The Docket Management Facility office (telephone (800) 647-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 31, 2006, the FAA issued AD 2006-12-
08, amendment 39-14633 (71 FR 33606, June 12, 2006), for Goodrich 
evacuation systems approved under TSO-C69b and installed on certain 
Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, Model A340-200 and -
300 series airplanes, and Model A340-541 and -642 airplanes. The AD 
requires inspecting to determine the part number of the pressure relief 
valves on the affected Goodrich evacuation systems, and corrective 
action if necessary.
    As published, the final rule identifies an incorrect reference to 
the airplane manufacturer (Airbus) in the regulatory text of the AD. 
The correct reference is Goodrich (formerly BF Goodrich).
    No other part of the regulatory information has been changed; 
therefore, the final rule is not republished in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains July 17, 2006.
