Correcting amendments. 

# SUMMARY:

                        We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, published a document in the                         **Federal Register**                         on August 13, 2008 that revised the regulations governing migratory bird permitting. That document inadvertently used the term “migratory game birds” in a way that contradicts the existing definition of that term elsewhere in our regulations. This document corrects the final regulations.                     

# DATES:

This rule is effective on September 25, 2008.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background 

                    On August 13, 2008, we published a document in the                     **Federal Register**                     (73 FR 47092) that revised the regulations governing migratory bird permitting at 50 CFR part 21. Section 21.21(b) of the revised regulations concern import and export permits for migratory birds. In that section, we inadvertently used the term “migratory game birds” in a way that contradicts the existing definition of that term in our regulations at 50 CFR 20.11(a). The definition at 50 CFR 20.11(a) limits the definition of “migratory game birds” to, among other things, those migratory birds “for which                           ( print page 55451)                        open seasons are prescribed” in part 20. Because of this definition, many of the migratory birds that we had intended 50 CFR 21.21(b) to cover are not covered by the new regulations. We are therefore publishing this document to correct the final regulations by revising § 21.21(b) to remove the term “migratory game birds” and instead use the more generic term “migratory birds.”                 

# List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 21

      - Exports
      - Hunting
      - Imports
      - Reporting and recordkeeping requirements
      - Transportation
      - Wildlife

Accordingly, 50 CFR part 21 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
