Jkt 214001

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703-712) and Fish and Wildlife
Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a - 754j-2)
designate the Department of the Interior
as the primary agency responsible for (1)
wise management of migratory bird
populations frequenting the United
States and (2) setting hunting
regulations that allow for the well-being
of migratory bird populations. These
responsibilities dictate that we gather
accurate data on various characteristics
of migratory bird populations.
The Mourning Dove Call Count
Survey is an essential part of the
migratory bird management program.
The survey is a cooperative effort
between the Service and State wildlife
agencies and local and tribal biologists.
Each spring, State, Service, local, and
tribal biologists conduct the survey to
provide the necessary data to determine
the population status of the mourning
dove. If this survey were not conducted,
we would not be able to determine the
population status of mourning doves
prior to setting regulations. The Service
and the States use the survey results to:
(1) develop annual regulations for
hunting mourning doves,
(2) plan and evaluate dove
management programs, and
(3) provide specific information
necessary for dove research.
II. Data
OMB Control Number: 1018-0010.
Title: Mourning Dove Call Count
Survey.
Service Form Number(s): 3-159.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: State, local, and tribal
employees.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 1,062.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,799 hours. We believe 80
percent of the respondents will enter
data electronically, with an average
reporting burden of 2.67 hours per
respondent. For all others, we estimate
the reporting burden to be 2.5 hours per
respondent.
III. Request for Comments
We invite comments concerning this
IC on:
(1) whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;

(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the

the collection of information on
respondents.

The North American Woodcock
Singing Ground Survey is an essential
part of the migratory bird management
program. State, Federal, Provincial,
local, and tribal conservation agencies
conduct the survey annually to provide
the data necessary to determine the
population status of the woodcock. In
addition, the information is vital in
assessing the relative changes in the
geographic distribution of the
woodcock. We use the information
primarily to develop recommendations
for hunting regulations. Without
information on the population’s status,
we might promulgate hunting
regulations that are not sufficiently
restrictive, which could cause harm to
the woodcock population, or too
restrictive, which would unduly restrict
recreational opportunities afforded by
woodcock hunting. The Service, State
conservation agencies, university
associates, and other interested parties
use the data for various research and
management projects.
