The resulting estimates of harvest per
hunter are combined with the complete
list of migratory bird hunters to provide
estimates of the total harvest for the
species surveyed.
The Parts Collection Survey estimates
the species, sex, and age composition of
the harvest, and the geographic and
temporal distribution of the harvest.
Randomly selected successful hunters
who responded to the Migratory Bird
Hunter Survey the previous year are
asked to complete and return a postcard
if they are willing to participate in the
Parts Collection Survey. We provide
postage-paid envelopes to respondents
before the hunting season and ask them
to send in a wing or the tail feathers
from each duck or goose they harvest, or
a wing from each mourning dove,
woodcock, band-tailed pigeon, snipe,
rail, or gallinule they harvest. We use
the wings and tail feathers to identify
the species, sex, and age of the
harvested sample. We also ask
respondents to report on the envelope
the date and location of harvest for each
bird. We combine the results of this
survey with the harvest estimates
obtained from the Migratory Bird
Hunter Survey to provide speciesspecific national harvest estimates.
The combined results of these surveys
enable us to evaluate the effects of
season length, season dates, and bag
limits on the harvest of each species,
and thus help us determine appropriate
hunting regulations.

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (16 U.S.C. 703–711) and the Fish
and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C.
742d) designate the Department of the
Interior as the key agency responsible
for (1) the wise management of
migratory bird populations frequenting
the United States, and (2) setting
hunting regulations that allow
appropriate harvests that are within the
guidelines that will allow for those
populations’ well-being. These
responsibilities dictate that we gather
accurate data on various characteristics
of migratory bird harvest. Based on
information from harvest surveys, we
can adjust hunting regulations as
needed to optimize harvests at levels
that provide a maximum of hunting
recreation while keeping populations at
desired levels.
Under the Migratory Bird Harvest
Program, State licensing authorities
collect the name and address
information needed to provide a sample
frame of all licensed migratory bird
hunters. Since Federal regulations
require that the States collect this
information, we are including the
associated burden in our approval
request to OMB.
The Migratory Bird Hunter Survey is
based on the Migratory Bird Harvest
Information Program, under which each
State annually provides a list of all
migratory bird hunters in the State. We
randomly select migratory bird hunters
and ask them to report their harvest.
Service Form Number(s): 3–165, 3–
165A—E, and 3–2056J—N.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Description of Respondents: States
and migratory game bird hunters.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Annually or
on occasion.

The Sandhill Crane Harvest Survey is
an annual questionnaire survey of
people who obtained a sandhill crane
hunting permit. At the end of the
hunting season, we randomly select a
sample of permit holders and ask them
to report the date, location, and number
of birds harvested for each of their
sandhill crane hunts. Their responses
provide estimates of the temporal and
geographic distribution of the harvest as
well as the average harvest per hunter,
which, combined with the total number
of permits issued, enables us to estimate
the total harvest of sandhill cranes.
Based on information from this survey,
we adjust hunting regulations as
needed.
Comments: On June 18, 2010, we
published in the Federal Register (75
FR 34758) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew this ICR. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on August 17, 2010. We
received one comment. The commenter
did not address the information
collection requirements, but did express
opposition to hunting and to the
surveys. Our long-term objectives
continue to include providing
opportunities to harvest portions of
certain migratory game bird populations
and limit harvest to levels compatible
with each population’s ability to
maintain healthy, viable numbers. Our
harvest surveys are an integral part of
our monitoring programs, which
provide the information that we need to
E:\FR\FM\07FEN1.SGM
07FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 25 / Monday, February 7, 2011 / Notices
ensure harvest levels are commensurate
with the current status of migratory
game bird populations and long-term
population goals. We did not make any
changes to the information collection.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask OMB in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.

responded to the Migratory Bird Hunter Survey the previous year are
asked to complete and return a postcard if they are willing to
participate in the Parts Collection Survey. We provide postage-paid
envelopes to respondents before the hunting season and ask them to send
in a wing or the tail feathers from each duck or goose they harvest, or
a wing from each mourning dove, woodcock, band-tailed pigeon, snipe,
rail, or gallinule they harvest. We use the wings and tail feathers to
identify the species, sex, and age of the harvested sample. We also ask
respondents to report on the envelope the date and location of harvest
for each bird. We combine the results of this survey with the harvest
estimates obtained from the Migratory Bird Hunter Survey to provide
species-specific national harvest estimates.
The combined results of these surveys enable us to evaluate the
effects of season length, season dates, and bag limits on the harvest
of each species, and thus help us determine appropriate hunting
regulations.
The Sandhill Crane Harvest Survey is an annual questionnaire survey
of people who obtained a sandhill crane hunting permit. At the end of
the hunting season, we randomly select a sample of permit holders and
ask them to report the date, location, and number of birds harvested
for each of their sandhill crane hunts. Their responses provide
estimates of the temporal and geographic distribution of the harvest as
well as the average harvest per hunter, which, combined with the total
number of permits issued, enables us to estimate the total harvest of
sandhill cranes. Based on information from this survey, we adjust
hunting regulations as needed.
Comments: On June 18, 2010, we published in the Federal Register
(75 FR 34758) a notice of our intent to request that OMB renew this
ICR. In that notice, we solicited comments for 60 days, ending on
August 17, 2010. We received one comment. The commenter did not address
the information collection requirements, but did express opposition to
hunting and to the surveys. Our long-term objectives continue to
include providing opportunities to harvest portions of certain
migratory game bird populations and limit harvest to levels compatible
with each population's ability to maintain healthy, viable numbers. Our
harvest surveys are an integral part of our monitoring programs, which
provide the information that we need to
[[Page 6631]]
ensure harvest levels are commensurate with the current status of
migratory game bird populations and long-term population goals. We did
not make any changes to the information collection.
We again invite comments concerning this information collection on:
Whether or not the collection of information is necessary,
including whether or not the information will have practical utility;
The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this
collection of information;
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask OMB in your comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that it
will be done.
