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.

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-
5227) is located on the plaza level of the Nassif Building at the U.S.
Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Room PL-401,

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.
