Series Airplanes

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

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 December 10, 2007 (72 FR 69593). The error resulted in a potential 
for confusion regarding the applicability of the AD. This AD applies to 
certain Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This 
AD requires inspections of the landing gear (LG) selector valve 40GA 
and the LG door selector valve 41GA, to identify a possible hydraulic 
leak. The corrective action includes replacing the LG selector valve 
40GA and/or the LG door selector valve 41GA if necessary.

DATES: Effective January 14, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>; or in person at the Docket Management Facility 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation, 
any comments received, and other information. The address for the 
Docket Office (telephone 800-647-5527) is the Document Management 
Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 21, 2007, the FAA issued AD 
2007-25-12, amendment 39-15294 (72 FR 69593, December 10, 2007), for 
certain Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. The 
AD requires inspections of the landing gear (LG) selector valve 40GA 
and the LG door selector valve 41GA, to identify a possible hydraulic 
leak. The corrective action includes replacing the LG selector valve 
40GA and/or the LG door selector valve 41GA if necessary.
    As published, the AD applies to airplanes identified in paragraphs 
(c)(1) ``and'' (c)(2) of this AD instead of those identified in 
paragraph (c)(1) ``or'' (c)(2) of this AD.
    This change is relieving in nature, and 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 January 14, 2008.
