AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that 
published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to RB211-Trent 800 
series turbofan engines. The last comment response in the preamble and 
the first sentence of regulatory text paragraph (g)(1) are incorrect. 
The repetitive inspection interval should be 2,000 flight cycles, not 
1,000 flight cycles. This document corrects those errors. In all other 
respects, the original document remains the same.

DATES: This final rule is effective April 11, 2012.

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
