Abstract: The Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR), Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), administers 21 financial assistance programs in whole or in part. We award most financial assistance as grants, but cooperative agreements are possible if the Federal Government will be substantially involved in carrying out the project. The applications and reports for these programs are approved under OMB Control Numbers 1018-0109 and 1018-0147, This ICR covers additional information that will be collected as well as the new electronic system for data collection (Wildlife Tracking and Reporting Actions for the Conservation of Species (Wildlife TRACS)).
