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 April 25, 2005 (70 FR 21141). The error resulted in omission of a reference to an inspection area. This AD applies to all Boeing Model 747 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the top and side panel webs and panel stiffeners of the nose wheel well (NWW), and corrective actions if necessary.

DATES: Effective May 10, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 13, 2005, the FAA issued AD 2005- 09-02, amendment 39-14070 (70 FR 21141, April 25, 2005), for all Boeing Model 747 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the top and side panel webs and panel stiffeners of the nose wheel well (NWW), and corrective actions if necessary.

As published, we inadvertently did not specify a certain area for a required

inspection. Where paragraph (i) of the AD specifies ``Do a UT inspection of the sidewall panel web for cracks, * * *,'' the correct areas to inspect are the top and sidewall panel web. References to the inspection areas are all identified correctly in all other parts of the AD.

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 May 10, 2005.
