Incorporation of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-25A1299 dated 18 June 1992 (Examination and Change of Door Header Support Bracket Assembly and Wire Bundle Installations) provides terminating action for the repetitive inspections of this Directive.

This amendment introduces optional terminating action for the inspection requirements of this Directive.
