Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 209 / Monday, October 31, 2005 / Notices
required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
On May 12, 2005, we published in the
Federal Register (70 FR 25108) a 60-day
notice of our intent to request renewal
of this information collection authority
from OMB. In that notice, we solicited
public comments for 60 days ending
July 11, 2005. We did not receive any
comments regarding this notice.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703–712) and Fish and Wildlife
Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a–754j–2)
designate the Department of the Interior
as the key agency responsible for (1)
wise management of migratory bird
populations frequenting the United
States and (2) 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 Mourning Dove Call Count
Survey is an essential part of the
migratory bird management program.
The survey is a cooperative effort
between the Service and State wildlife
agencies, as well as local and tribal
biologists. Each spring, State, Service,
local, and tribal biologists conduct the
survey to provide the necessary data to
determine the population status of the
mourning dove. The Service and the
States use the survey results to (1)
develop annual regulations for hunting
mourning doves, (2) plan and evaluate
dove management programs, and (3)
provide specific information necessary
for dove research. If this survey were
not conducted, we would not be able to
determine the population status of
mourning doves prior to setting
regulations.
Title of Collection: Mourning Dove
Call Count Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0010.
Service Form Number: 3–159.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Description of Respondents: State,
local, tribal, and Federal employees.
Total Annual Responses: 1,062
Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,796.6
hours. We believe 80 percent of the
respondents will enter data
electronically, with an average reporting
burden of 2.67 hours per respondent.
For all other respondents, we estimate
the reporting burden to be 2.5 hours per
respondent.
We invite your comments concerning
this information collection on: (1)
Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of our migratory bird
management functions, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of

the agency’s estimate of burden, (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond. The
information collections in this program
are part of a system of records covered
by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a).

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We (Fish and Wildlife
Service) have sent a request to OMB to
renew approval for our information
collection associated with the North
American woodcock singing ground
survey. The current OMB control
number for this information collection
is 1018–0019, which expires October 31,
2005. We have requested that OMB
renew approval of this information
collection for a 3-year term.
DATES: You must submit comments on
or before November 30, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Send your comments and
suggestions on this information
collection renewal to the Desk Officer
for the Department of the Interior at
OMB–OIRA at (202) 395–6566 (fax) or
OIRA_DOCKET@OMB.eop.gov (e-mail).

collection requirements, explanatory
information, or related form, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which

implement the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), require that
interested members of the public and
affected agencies have an opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)). Federal agencies may not
conduct or sponsor and a person is not
required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
On May 12, 2005, we published in the
Federal Register (70 FR 25107) a 60-day
notice of our intent to request renewal
of this information collection authority
from OMB. In that notice, we solicited
public comments for 60 days ending
July 11, 2005. We received one
comment regarding this notice. The
commenter expressed opposition to
hunting, but did not address the
collection requirements. We have not
made any changes to the information
collection as a result of this comment.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703–711) and Fish and Wildlife

of migratory bird populations.
The North American Woodcock
Singing Ground Survey is an essential
part of the migratory bird management
program. State, Federal, Provincial,
local, and tribal conservation agencies
conduct the survey annually to provide
the data necessary to determine the
population status of the woodcock. In
addition, the information is vital in
assessing the relative changes in the
geographic distribution of the
woodcock. 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 too
restrictive, which would unduly restrict
recreational opportunities afforded by
woodcock hunting. The Service, State
conservation agencies, university
associates, and other interested parties
use the data for various research and
management projects.
