SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the September 28, 2000, Federal Register 
(65 FR 58314), we published a final rule prescribing hunting seasons, 
hours, areas, and daily bag and possession limits for general waterfowl 
seasons, certain other migratory bird seasons, and those early seasons 
for which States previously deferred selection. The rule contained 
errors in the introductory language for several sections and entries 
for Florida, Idaho, and Tennessee, which are discussed briefly below

and limits established by the September 28 final rule. We addressed
