I. Abstract
The Electronic Duck Stamp Act of
2005 (Act) (Pub.L. 109-266), passed in
August 2006, requires that the Secretary
of the Interior conduct a 3–year pilot
program under which up to 15 States
authorized by the Secretary may issue
electronic Federal Duck Stamps. Eligible
applicants are State fish and wildlife
agencies that have an automated
licensing system authorized under State
law. There are currently 40 States that
offer Internet, point of sale, or
telephonic sales for their hunting and
fishing licenses.
Under the Act, a State may not
participate in the pilot program unless
it submits an application and the
Secretary approves it. OMB has granted
emergency approval for the application
for this program (FWS Form 3-2341) and
assigned OMB Control No. 1018-0135,
which expires October 31, 2007. To
participate in the pilot program, eligible
State fish and wildlife agencies must
have submitted an application by June
8, 2007. The application process will
lead to the selection of up to 15
participants for this pilot program.
The Act requires reports from States
that participate in the pilot program We
plan to ask OMB to approve the
following reporting requirements for a
3–year term:
(1) Pilot Fulfillment Report. Each
participating State must collect the
following information and submit it to
the fulfillment contractor on a weekly
basis. We will use this information to
issue an actual stamp to each purchaser.
(a) First and last name and complete
mailing address for each individual who
purchases an electronic stamp from the
State.
Number of annual
respondents
Activity

(b) Face value amount of each
electronic stamp sold by the State.
(c) Amount of the Federal portion of
any fee required by the agreement for
each stamp sold.
(2) At the end of the pilot program,
the Act requires that we submit a report
to Congress. We will evaluate the
program to determine if it has provided
a cost effective and convenient means
for issuing Federal Duck Stamps. We
will ask each State to provide
information on whether or not the
program:
(a) Increased the availability of the
stamps.
(b) Assisted States in meeting
customer service objectives.
