Abstract: Subsistence migratory bird hunting is authorized in subsistence-eligible areas of Alaska. We collect information on the annual subsistence harvest of 54 species of birds (including geese, ducks, swans, cranes, loons, seabirds, shorebirds, and upland game birds) through surveys of households in the subsistence-eligible areas of Alaska. Data are used to promulgate harvest regulations to provide maximum subsistence harvest opportunity while keeping migratory bird populations at desired levels.

Short Statement: Based on experience over the last several years, we have revised our estimates of the number of subsistence-eligible communities and households. In addition, we corrected the annual number of responses for form 7-FW-100 to account for each household that provides a response (23,000). Based on feedback from our outreach, we have reduced our burden estimates for completing form 7-FW-100, which resulted in a decrease of 594 burden hours.
