Aging Airplane Program: Widespread 

Fatigue Damage; Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a 

technical amendment published May 

24, 2012 to a final rule published 

November 15, 2010. The final rule 

required design approval holders of 

certain existing airplanes and all 

applicants for type certificates of future 

transport category airplanes to establish 

a limit of validity of the engineering 

data that supports the structural 

maintenance program (hereinafter 

referred to as LOV). It also required that 

operators of any affected airplane 

incorporate the LOV into the 

maintenance program for that airplane. 

The technical amendment to the final 

rule was issued to correct errors, but 

within its publication, it contained 

inadvertent errors due to pagination in 

two tables. This document corrects the 

errors in those tables. 

DATES: This corrective action becomes 

effective September 7, 2012.

action, contact Walter Sippel, ANM–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 24, 2012, the FAA published 

a technical amendment to a final rule. 

The technical amendment is entitled 

‘‘Aging Airplane Program: Widespread 

Fatigue Damage’’ (77 FR 30877), which 

corrected a final rule published 

November 15, 2010 (75 FR 69746). 

In that technical amendment, the FAA 

intended to correct compliance dates of 

§§ 26.21, 121.1115, and 129.115 for 

Airbus A310 and A300–600 series 

airplanes. Upon publication, however, 

the technical amendment contained 

inadvertent errors due to pagination in 

two of the tables. 

Accordingly, FAA amends 14 CFR 

parts 121 and 129 by making the 

following technical amendments:
