prescribing the hunting seasons, hours, areas, and daily bag and 
possession limits for general waterfowl seasons and those early seasons 
for which States previously deferred selection. This document corrects

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the September 28, 2001, Federal Register 
(66 FR 49748), 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 entries for Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, 
Texas, and Vermont, which are discussed briefly below and corrected by 
this notice.
    We received public comment on the proposed rules for the seasons 
and limits established by the September 28 final rule. We addressed 
these comments in final rules published in the August 21, 2001, (66 FR 
44010) and September 27, 2001, (66 FR 49478) Federal Registers. The 
corrections are typographical in nature and involve no substantial 
changes to the substance in the contents of the prior proposed and 
final rules.
