SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in
airworthiness directive (AD) 2000-15-17 that was published in the
Federal Register on August 8, 2000 (65 FR 48368). The typographical
error resulted in the omission of an airplane model from paragraph (c)
of the AD. This AD is applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-
9-81 (MD-81), DC-9-82 (MD-82), DC-9-83 (MD-83), and DC-9-87 (MD-87);
Model MD-88 airplanes; and Model MD-90-30 series airplanes. This AD
requires installation of a pipe support and clamps on the hydraulic
lines in the aft fuselage; replacement of the hydraulic pipe assembly
in the aft fuselage with a new pipe assembly; and installation of drain
tube assemblies and diverter assemblies in the area of the auxiliary
power unit inlet; as applicable.
DATES: Effective September 12, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2000-15-17,
amendment 39-11849, applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-
81 (MD-81), DC-9-82 (MD-82), DC-9-83 (MD-83), and DC-9-87 (MD-87);
Model MD-88 airplanes; and Model MD-90-30 series airplanes, was
published in the Federal Register on August 8, 2000 (65 FR 48368). That
AD requires installation of a pipe support and clamps on the hydraulic
lines in the aft fuselage; replacement of the hydraulic pipe assembly
in the aft fuselage with a new pipe assembly; and installation of drain
tube assemblies and diverter assemblies in the area of the auxiliary
power unit (APU) inlet; as applicable.
As published, that AD contained a typographical error in paragraph
(c) of the AD, which resulted in the omission of Model MD-88 airplanes
from its applicability. It was the FAA's intent that the applicability
of paragraph (c) of the AD be parallel to that recommended by the
manufacturer in its referenced service bulletin (i.e., McDonnell
Douglas Service Bulletin MD80-53-286, dated September 3, 1999). As was
indicated under the heading ``Explanation of Relevant Service
Information'' in the preamble of the notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM), McDonnell Douglas Service Bulletin MD80-53-286, dated September
3, 1999, affects McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-81 (MD-81), DC-9-82 (MD-
82), DC-9-83 (MD-83), and DC-9-87 (MD-87) series airplanes, and Model
MD-88 airplanes.
Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed,
the final rule is not being republished.
The effective date of this AD remains September 12, 2000.
