Fish and Wildlife Service

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918
(16 U.S.C. 703–712) 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
managing migratory bird populations
that frequent the United States and for
setting harvest regulations that allow for
the conservation of those populations.
These responsibilities include gathering
accurate geographical and temporal data
on various characteristics of migratory
bird harvest. We use harvest data to
review regulation proposals and to issue
harvest regulations.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Protocol Amendment (1995)
(Amendment) provides for the

customary and traditional use of
migratory birds and their eggs for
subsistence use by indigenous
inhabitants of Alaska. The Amendment
states that its intent is not to cause
significant increases in the take of
species of migratory birds relative to
their continental population sizes. A
submittal letter from the Department of
State to the White House (May 20, 1996)
accompanied the Amendment and
specified the need for harvest
monitoring. The submittal letter stated
that the Service, the Alaska Department
of Fish and Game (ADFG), and Alaska
Native organizations would collect
harvest information cooperatively
within the subsistence eligible areas.
Harvest survey data help to ensure that
customary and traditional subsistence
uses of migratory birds and their eggs by
indigenous inhabitants of Alaska do not
significantly increase the take of species
of migratory birds relative to their
continental population sizes.
Between 1989 and 2004, we
monitored subsistence harvest of
migratory birds using annual household
surveys in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta,
which is the region of highest
subsistence bird harvest in the State of
Alaska. In 2004, we began monitoring
subsistence harvest of migratory birds in
subsistence eligible areas Statewide.
The Statewide harvest assessment
program helps to track trends and
changes in levels of harvest. The harvest
assessment program relies on
collaboration among the Service, the
ADFG, and a number of Alaska Native
organizations.
We gather information on the annual
subsistence harvest of about 60 bird
species/species categories (ducks, geese,
swans, cranes, upland game birds,
seabirds, shorebirds, and grebes and
loons) in the subsistence eligible areas
of Alaska. The survey covers 11 regions
of Alaska, which are further divided
into 29 subregions. We survey the
regions and villages in a rotation
schedule to accommodate budget
constraints and to minimize respondent
burden. The survey covers spring,
summer, and fall harvest in most
regions.
In collaboration with Alaska Native
organizations, we hire local resident
surveyors to collect the harvest
information. The surveyors list all
households in the villages to be
surveyed and provide survey
information and harvest report forms to
randomly selected households that have
agreed to participate in the survey. To
ensure anonymity of harvest
information, we identify households by
a numeric code. The surveyor visits
households three times during the

E:\FR\FM\03DEN1.SGM

03DEN1

75686

survey year. At the first household visit,
the surveyor explains the survey
purposes and invites household
participation. The surveyor returns at
the end of the season of most harvest
and at the end of the two other seasons
combined to help the household
complete the harvest report form.
We have designed the survey methods
to streamline procedures and reduce
respondent burden. We plan to use two
forms for household participation:
• FWS Form 3–2380 (Tracking Sheet
and Household Consent). The surveyor
visits each household selected to
participate in the survey to provide
information on the objectives and to
obtain household consent to participate.

The surveyor uses this form to record
consent and track subsequent visits for
completion of harvest reports.
• FWS Forms 3–2381–1, 3–2381–2,
3–2381–3, and 3–2381–4 (Harvest
Report). The Harvest Report has
drawings of bird species most
commonly available for harvest in the
different regions of Alaska, with fields
for writing down the numbers of birds
and eggs taken. There are four versions
of this form: Interior Alaska, North
Slope, Southern Coastal Alaska, and
Western Alaska. This form has a sheet
for each season surveyed, and each
sheet has fields for the household code,
community name, harvest year, date of
completion, and comments.
