          Subject: Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service: Migratory Bird
                  Hunting: Late Seasons and Bag and Possession Limits for Certain Migratory
                  Game Birds

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service
          (Service), entitled Migratory Bird Hunting; Late Seasons and Bag and Possession
          Limits for Certain Migratory Game Birds (RIN: 1018-AG08). We received the rule on
          September 25, 2000. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on
          September 28, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 58314.

          The final rule prescribes 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.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the Service's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that the Service complied with the applicable requirements.
