DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-1297; Directorate Identifier 2012-SW-100-AD; 
Amendment 39-17285; AD 2012-25-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was 
published in the Federal Register. The AD applies to certain Eurocopter 
France (Eurocopter) Model AS350B3 helicopters. The reference to Title 
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 91.173 in the Required Actions 
section is incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all other 
respects, the original document remains the same.

DATES: This final rule is effective August 13, 2013. The effective date 
for AD 2012-25-04 (78 FR 24041, April 24, 2013) remains May 9, 2013.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; 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 (phone: 800-647-5527) is Document Management Facility, 
U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West 
Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., 
Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AD 2012-25-04, Amendment 39-17285 (78 FR 
24041, April 24, 2013), applies to certain Eurocopter Model AS350B3 
helicopters. AD 2012-25-04 currently requires, in part, before further 
flight and thereafter after each flight without exceeding 3 hours time-
in-service between two checks, visually checking each laminated half 
bearing for certain conditions, and allows this check to be performed 
by a pilot if certain regulatory recordkeeping requirements

[[Page 49116]]

are met. As such, AD 2012-25-04 currently includes the following as the 
last sentence under paragraph (f)(4): ``The record must be maintained 
as required by 14 CFR 91.173, 121.380, or 134.439.''
    As published, the reference to 14 CFR 91.173 is incorrect. The 
correct reference is to 14 CFR 91.417.
    No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been 
changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the final rule is being 
published in the Federal Register.
