ORDER

We regret that in the opinion, published at 840 F.2d 1432, there was an error made on page 1436, in the second column in the first full paragraph. This paragraph should read as follows:

Johnson], 674 F.2d at 794 [9th Cir. 1982]. In addition, discovery may be permitted if supplementation of the record is necessary to explain technical terms or complex subject matter involved in the agency action. Id.
