SUMMARY: The FAA is delaying the effective date of the final rule 
airworthiness directive (AD) 2009-24-11, which published in the Federal 
Register, for an additional 30 days, from January 4, 2010 to February 
3, 2010. The FAA is delaying the effective date to allow us a 
sufficient amount of time to make corrections to the compliance text of 
the final rule.

Register on November 30, 2009 (74 FR 62481) is delayed until February

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 30, 2009 (74 FR 62481), we 
published a final rule AD, FR Doc. E9-28236, in the Federal Register. 
That AD applies to GE CF34-1A, CF34-3A, and CF34-3B series turbofan 
engines. We are delaying the effective date to allow us a sufficient 
amount of time to make corrections to the compliance text of the final 
rule. Since AD 2009-24-11 was issued, we discovered that when we 
recodified the compliance section as part of our response to a comment 
received on the proposed AD, we inadvertently left out of the AD 
certain fan blade effectivity information from paragraphs (f) and (g) 
and (j). Paragraphs (f) and (g) are missing information on fan blades, 
P/Ns 6018T30P14 or 4923T56G08, that have any fan blade S/Ns listed in 
Appendix A of General Electric Aircraft Engines (GEAE) Service Bulletin 
(SB) No. CF34-AL S/B 72-0245, Revision 01, dated July 30, 2008. Also, 
paragraph (j) is missing

information on fan blades, P/N 6018T30P14 or P/N 4923T56G08, that have 
any fan blade S/Ns listed in Appendix A of GEAE SB No. CF34-BJ S/B72-
0229, Revision 01, dated July 30, 2008.

    Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on December 23, 2009.
