National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife Watching (FHWW)

OMB 1018-0088 ยท DOI/FWS.

OMB 1018-0088

The 2027 FHWW will result in a comprehensive database of fish and wildlife-related recreation activities and expenditures. It will provide comparable statistics not available from other sources. The survey information helps us effectively administer fish and wildlife restoration grant programs, and helps states develop project proposals and conservation programs. Data are used to evaluate the status and trends of recreational uses as well as the values and benefits of fish and wildlife resources. The data provide essential information on present recreation demands and serve as a basis for projecting future demands. The FHWW information is needed to prepare resource management and development plans and environmental documents required for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The data also are used to calculate economic impacts resulting from use of fish and wildlife recreation resources.

The latest form for National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife Watching (FHWW) expires 2029-09-30 and is listed under ICR 202605-1018-001.
