SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
at 5 CFR part 1320, all information
collections require approval under the
PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor,
and you are not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent

burdens, we are again inviting the
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comments addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
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
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (16 U.S.C. 703–712) designates the
Department of the Interior as the
primary agency responsible for
managing 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. Federal, State, Provincial,
Tribal, and local conservation agencies
conduct the survey annually to provide
the data necessary to determine the
population status of the American

woodcock. In addition, the information
is vital in assessing the relative changes
in the geographic distribution of the
species. We use the information
primarily to develop recommendations
for hunting regulations. Without
information on the population’s status,
we might promulgate hunting
regulations that:
• Are not sufficiently restrictive,
which could cause harm to the
woodcock population, or
• Are too restrictive, which would
unduly restrict recreational
opportunities afforded by woodcock
hunting.
State, local, Tribal, Provincial, and
Federal conservation agencies, as well
as other participants, use Form 3–156 to
conduct annual field surveys.
Instructions for completing the survey
and reporting data are on the reverse of
the form and on the internet. Observers
scan/email or scan/upload (via the link
provided) Form 3–156 to State and
Province coordinators and/or enter the
information electronically through the
internet at https://naturecounts.ca/nc/
amwo/main.jsp.
We collect observer information
(name and email address) so that we can
contact the observer if questions or

concerns arise. Observers provide
information on:
• Sky condition, temperature, wind,
and precipitation;
• Stop number;
• Odometer reading;
• Time at each stop;
• Number of American Woodcock
males heard peenting (calling);
• Disturbance level; and/or
• Comments concerning the survey.
Data results are entered via a web
browser application by the observer or
a State or Province coordinator. A
mobile application which operates on
portable electronic devices is also
available to enter data while in the field.
Substantial improvements are still being
made to the browser that will mimic the
user experience of the mobile
application. The data entry feature for
both will still be collecting data on all
the same fields within the survey form.
For those routes with spatial data within
the mobile application, a mapping
feature allows observers to see each stop
location along the route and keep track
of their current location. This will assist
in stop location verification efforts and
help maintain a verified spatial
reference for the survey. Stop location
verification, or more broadly, device
location verification, is the process of

confirming the physical location of a

The administrator sends paper-based
survey forms to every observer;
however, the observer is not required to
submit the paper-based results to the
Service. They are advised to send a copy
to State and Province coordinators for
data entry, quality assurance and quality
control checks, and/or follow up.
We use the information that we
collect to analyze the survey data and
prepare reports. Assessment of the
population’s status serves to guide the
Service, the States, and the Canadian
Government in the annual promulgation
of hunting regulations.

addressed all identified resource
concerns. In addition, a determination
of National Environmental Policy Act

conveyance, when issued, will be
subject to the provisions of the R&PP
Act, the applicable regulations of the
Secretary of the Interior, and the
following terms, conditions, and
reservations to the United States:
