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. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ron W. Kokel, (703) 358-1714. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final rule that published in the Federal Register on March 28, 2016, at 81 FR 17302, the following corrections are made: Final Regulations Frameworks for 2016-17 Hunting Seasons on Certain Migratory Game Birds [Corrected] 1.
