will be conducted during the survey
year. The 2006 FHWAR will be similar
in scope to past surveys. It will generate
information identified as priority data
needed by Federal and State agencies
responsible for administering the Sport
Fish and Wildlife Restoration grant
programs. Accordingly, the 2006
FHWAR will produce a comprehensive
database of fish and wildlife-related
recreation activities and expenditures. It
will include the number of persons
participating in different types of
activities such as freshwater, saltwater,
and Great Lakes fishing, and big game,
small game, migratory bird, and other
animal hunting. Wildlife-watching
activities include wildlife observation,
feeding, and photographing around the
home and on trips away from home.
Information is collected on days of
participation, species of animals sought,
and how much money was spent on
trips and for equipment. Information on
the characteristics of participants
includes age, income, sex, education,
race, and residency. The survey data has
State level reliability. Federal and State
agencies use information from the
survey to formulate management and
policy decisions related to fish and
wildlife restoration and management.
Participation patterns and trend
information assist in identifying present
and future needs and demands.
The information is used for planning
the acquisition, development, and
enhancement of resources for the benefit
of wildlife-related recreation. Land
managing agencies use the data on
expenditures, economic evaluation, and
participation to assess the value of
wildlife-related recreational uses of
natural resources. States use
expenditure information to estimate the
economic impact of wildlife-related
recreation expenditures on their
economies and to support the
dedication of tax revenues for fish and
wildlife restoration programs. The
information collected on resident
saltwater fishing assists coastal States in
determining the proper ratio for
allocating funds between freshwater and
saltwater projects as required by the
Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration
Act, as amended. The information is not
readily available elsewhere because few
States have saltwater licenses or
conduct their own surveys. If the 2006
FHWAR data were not available, it
would impair the ability of those States
to meet their obligations under the Act.
Title: National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated
Recreation.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0088.
Form Number: None.
Frequency of Collection: Household
screen interviews and the first detailed
sportspersons and wildlife-watchers
interviews will be conducted April–
June 2006. The second detailed
interviews will be conducted
September–October 2006. The third and
last detailed interviews will be
conducted January–March 2007.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals.
Total Annual Responses: 95,000
respondents.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 32,254
hours.
The projected number of respondents
and the estimated burden for the 2006

Total burden
(hours)
* The estimated number of respondents reached from a sample of households will be 76,000. About one-half (38,000) of those respondents
will sample in and receive a detail interview. An additional 50 percent of those households where one person is sampled (19,000) will have a
second person screened in for interviews. Therefore, the total number of respondents is estimated to be 95,000 (76,000 + 19,000) in the 2006
FHWAR.
** Of the survey respondents, 5 percent from the CAPI screener workload and 6 percent from the CAPI third interview sportspersons and wildlife-watchers workloads are reinterviewed by another Census interviewer using a subset of the regular questionnaire. These reinterview responses are compared to the responses of the full interview as a quality control measure.
The total number of respondents can
be calculated by adding up the
household and participant responses
and subtracting the reinterviews and the
third interviews. There is some wave 1
and wave 2 overlap.
We expect the burden to be about 15
minutes for the sportsmen and 11
minutes for the wildlife-watching
participants. We base the estimate for
interview length on the 2001 survey and
experience with similar surveys. The
combined total estimated hours of
respondent burden is 32,254.
