Migratory Bird Hunting; Final Frameworks for Migratory Bird
Hunting Regulations
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, published a final rule
in the Federal Register on March 28, 2016, that prescribes final
frameworks from which States may select season dates, limits, and other
options for the 2016-17 migratory bird hunting seasons. In that rule,
we made an error in the daily bag limit for canvasbacks in Alaska. We
intended to increase the daily bag limit for canvasbacks in Alaska, as
we did for the rest of the United States, to 2 birds. We also
[[Page 21481]]
included an incorrect description for the Special Early Canada Goose
Unit in South Dakota. With this document, we correct our errors.
DATES: This correction is effective April 12, 2016.
