SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about AD 2024-05-05. Submit comments as instructed in AD
2024-05-05, Amendment 39-22696 (89 FR 18534, March 14, 2024).
Background
AD 2024-05-05 requires accomplishing a functional check of an
affected part, replacing an affected part if necessary, and reporting
the functional check results, and prohibits the installation of
affected parts. That AD applies to all ATR--GIE Avions de Transport
R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and ATR72 airplanes.
Need for the Correction
As published, the docket number specified in the preamble and
regulatory text of AD 2024-05-05 is incorrect. The correct docket
number is FAA-2024-0459.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA Emergency AD 2024-0044-E specifies the following procedures:
<bullet> Accomplishing a functional check of an affected part.
<bullet> Replacing an affected part with a serviceable part, if any
discrepancy is detected during the functional check. (A discrepancy is
any amount of air that flows through either connector of the right
engine extinguishing system when compressed air is passed through
either connector of the left engine extinguishing system, and vice
versa.)
<bullet> Reporting inspection (i.e., functional check) results to
the airplane manufacturer.
<bullet> Prohibiting the installation of affected parts.

This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.
Correction of Publication
This document corrects an error in multiple locations in AD 2024-
05-05 and correctly adds the AD as an amendment to 14 CFR 39.13.
Although no other part of the preamble or regulatory information has
been corrected, the FAA is publishing the entire rule in the Federal
Register.
The effective date of this AD remains March 29, 2023.
Since this action only corrects the docket number for AD 2024-05-
05, it has no adverse economic impact and imposes no additional burden
on any person. Therefore, the FAA has determined that notice and public
procedures are unnecessary.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Corrected]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

39-22696; Docket No. FAA-2024-0459; Project Identifier MCAI-2024-
00117-T.
(a) Effective Date
This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective March 29, 2024.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to all ATR--GIE Avions de Transport
R[eacute]gional airplanes specified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of
this AD, certificated in any category.

(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by a report of incorrect marking and
assembly of the two-way valves for the left- and right-hand engine
fire extinguishing systems. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
inoperative two-way valves in both engine fire extinguishing
systems. This condition, if not addressed, could lead to reduced
performance of the engine fire extinguishing system, which could
result in loss of control of the airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Requirements
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in

0044-E).
(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2024-0044-E

AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) Paragraph (4) of EASA AD 2024-0044-E specifies to report
inspection results to ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional
within a certain compliance time. For this AD, report inspection
(i.e., functional check) results at the applicable time specified in
paragraph (h)(2)(i) or (ii) of this AD.
(i) If the inspection was done on or after the effective date of
this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the inspection.
(ii) If the inspection was done before the effective date of
this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the effective date
of this AD.
