AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a typographical error in an existing 
airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register 
on May 22, 2007 (72 FR 28597). The error resulted in a confusing 
compliance time. This AD applies to all Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -
200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This AD requires 
repetitive detailed inspections for damage of the electrical wire and 
sleeve that run to the fuel boost pump through a conduit in the fuel 
tank, and arcing damage of the conduit and signs of fuel leakage into 
the conduit; replacement of the sleeve with a new, smaller-diameter 
sleeve; and related investigative and corrective actions, as 
applicable.

DATES: Effective June 6, 2007.

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 Operations office 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. The Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 2, 2007, the FAA issued AD 2007-11-
07, amendment 39-15064 (72 FR 28597, May 22, 2007), for all Boeing 
Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. The 
AD requires repetitive detailed inspections for damage of the 
electrical wire and sleeve that run to the fuel boost pump through a 
conduit in the fuel tank, and arcing damage of the conduit and signs of 
fuel leakage into the conduit; replacement of the sleeve with a new, 
smaller-diameter sleeve; and related investigative and corrective 
actions, as applicable.
    As published, paragraph (k) of AD 2007-11-07 reads ``* * * 
Thereafter, repeat the detailed inspection at intervals not to exceed 
15,000 flight cycles. * * *'' The correct term, ``flight hours'' (not 
flight cycles), appears in all other compliance times cited in the AD, 
as intended.
    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 June 6, 2007.

* * * * *
    (k) At the applicable time specified by paragraph (k)(1) or

and electrical wire of the fuel boost pump; and, before further 
flight, install a new, smaller-diameter sleeve, and do related 
investigative and corrective actions, as applicable; in accordance 
with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service 
Bulletin 737-28A1263, Revision 1, dated March 19, 2007. Thereafter,

corrective actions, and sleeve installation required by this 
paragraph terminates the requirements of paragraphs (f), (g), (h),
