Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (16 U.S.C. 703–711) and the Fish
and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C.
742d) designate the Department of the
Interior as the key agency responsible
for (1) the wise management of
migratory bird populations frequenting
the United States, and (2) setting
hunting regulations that allow
appropriate harvests that are within the
guidelines that will allow for those
populations’ well-being. These
responsibilities dictate that we gather
accurate data on various characteristics
of migratory bird harvest. Based on
information from harvest surveys, we
can adjust hunting regulations as
needed to optimize harvests at levels
that provide a maximum of hunting
recreation while keeping populations at
desired levels.
Under the Migratory Bird Harvest
Program, State licensing authorities
collect the name and address
information needed to provide a sample
frame of all licensed migratory bird
hunters. Since Federal regulations
require that the States collect this
information, we are including the
associated burden in our approval
request to OMB.
The Migratory Bird Hunter Survey is
based on the Migratory Bird Harvest
Information Program, under which each
State annually provides a list of all
migratory bird hunters in the State. We
randomly select migratory bird hunters
and ask them to report their harvest.

The resulting estimates of harvest per
hunter are combined with the complete
list of migratory bird hunters to provide
estimates of the total harvest for the
species surveyed.
The Parts Collection Survey estimates
the species, sex, and age composition of
the harvest, and the geographic and
temporal distribution of the harvest.
Randomly selected successful hunters
who responded to the Migratory Bird
Hunter Survey the previous year are
asked to complete and return a postcard
if they are willing to participate in the
Parts Collection Survey. We provide
postage-paid envelopes to respondents
before the hunting season and ask them
to send in a wing or the tail feathers
from each duck or goose they harvest, or
a wing from each mourning dove,
woodcock, band-tailed pigeon, snipe,
rail, or gallinule they harvest. We use
the wings and tail feathers to identify
the species, sex, and age of the
harvested sample. We also ask
respondents to report on the envelope
the date and location of harvest for each
bird. We combine the results of this
survey with the harvest estimates
obtained from the Migratory Bird
Hunter Survey to provide speciesspecific national harvest estimates.
The combined results of these surveys
enable us to evaluate the effects of
season length, season dates, and bag
limits on the harvest of each species,
and thus help us determine appropriate
hunting regulations.

Service Form Number(s): 3–165, 3–

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

The Sandhill Crane Harvest Survey is
an annual questionnaire survey of
people who obtained a sandhill crane
hunting permit. At the end of the
hunting season, we randomly select a
sample of permit holders and ask them
to report the date, location, and number
of birds harvested for each of their
sandhill crane hunts. Their responses
provide estimates of the temporal and
geographic distribution of the harvest as
well as the average harvest per hunter,
which, combined with the total number
of permits issued, enables us to estimate
the total harvest of sandhill cranes.
Based on information from this survey,
we adjust hunting regulations as
needed.
Comments: On June 18, 2010, we
published in the Federal Register (75
FR 34758) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew this ICR. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on August 17, 2010. We
received one comment. The commenter
did not address the information
collection requirements, but did express
opposition to hunting and to the
surveys. Our long-term objectives
continue to include providing
opportunities to harvest portions of
certain migratory game bird populations
and limit harvest to levels compatible
with each population’s ability to
maintain healthy, viable numbers. Our
harvest surveys are an integral part of
our monitoring programs, which
provide the information that we need to

E:\FR\FM\07FEN1.SGM

07FEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 25 / Monday, February 7, 2011 / Notices
ensure harvest levels are commensurate
with the current status of migratory
game bird populations and long-term
population goals. We did not make any
changes to the information collection.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask OMB in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.
