SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    We published a notice in the Federal Register on February 18, 2011 
(76 FR 9590), announcing the availability for public comment of draft 
Guidelines. The document contained some incorrect statements in the 
SUMMARY and DATES captions. We regret any confusion they may have 
caused.
    The SUMMARY caption included this sentence: ``These draft 
Guidelines are intended to supersede the Service's 2003 voluntary, 
interim guidelines for land-based wind development.'' In addition, the 
DATES caption indicated that the draft Guidelines would be effective 
February 18, 2011. However, the draft Guidelines we made available on 
February 18 are a draft version and not final. They do not supersede 
the Service's 2003 Interim Guidance on Avoiding and Minimizing Wildlife 
Impacts from Wind Turbines (Interim Guidance).
    As stated in the notice, the comment period on the draft Guidelines 
will close May 19, 2011. We expect to issue final Guidelines for public
