I. 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 50 CFR 20.20, migratory bird
hunters must register for the Migratory
Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP)
in each State in which they hunt each
year. State natural resource agencies
must send names and addresses of all
migratory bird hunters to us annually.
The Migratory Bird Hunter Survey is
based on the Migratory Bird Harvest
Information Program. 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 form 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 that they
harvest, or a wing from each mourning
dove, woodcock, band-tailed pigeon,
snipe, rail, or gallinule that 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 species–
specific 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.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Under section 101(b) of the Marine
Mammal Protection Act of 1972
(MMPA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361–
1407), Alaska Natives residing in Alaska
and dwelling on the coast of the North
Pacific or Arctic Oceans may harvest
polar bears, northern sea otters, and
Pacific walrus for subsistence or
handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of
the MMPA authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to prescribe marking,
tagging, and reporting regulations
applicable to the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft take.
On behalf of the Secretary, we
implemented regulations at 50 CFR
18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting
polar bear, northern sea otter, and
Pacific walrus. These regulations enable
us to gather data on the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft harvest and
on the biology of polar bear, northern
sea otter, and Pacific walrus in Alaska
to determine what effect such take may
be having on these populations. The
regulations also provide us with a
means of monitoring the disposition of
the harvest to ensure that any
commercial use of products created
from these species meets the criteria set
