Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Description of Respondents: State,
local, and tribal employees.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 936.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,417 hours. We believe 90
percent of the respondents will enter
data electronically, with an average
reporting burden of 3 hours and 40

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 properly
determine the population status of
mourning doves prior to setting
regulations. The Service and the States
use the survey results to:
• Develop annual regulations for
hunting mourning doves,
• Plan and evaluate dove
management programs, and
• Provide specific information
necessary for dove research.
Comments: On June 29, 2011, we
published in the Federal Register (76
FR 3802) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on August 29, 2011. We
did not receive any comments.
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, email 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.

collection and the estimated burden and
cost. This information collection is

2012. We may not conduct or sponsor
and a person is not required to respond

Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,288 hours. We believe 613
persons (85 percent of the respondents)
will enter data electronically, with an
average reporting burden of 1.8 hours
per respondent. For all other
respondents, we estimate the reporting
burden to be 1.67 hours per respondent.
Abstract: 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:
• Wise management of migratory bird
populations frequenting the United
States, and
• 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 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 (1) are not sufficiently
restrictive, which could cause harm to
the woodcock population, or (2) are 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.
Comments: On June 29, 2011, we
published in the Federal Register (76
FR 38203) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on August 29, 2011. We
received one comment. The commenter
expressed opposition to hunting and the
Government, but did not address the
collection requirements. We did not

make any changes to our information
collection requirements.
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, email 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.
