burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email 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 us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The information collected
for the National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting and Wildlife-Associated
Recreation (FHWAR) assists the Fish
and Wildlife Service in administering
the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration
grant programs. The 2022 FHWAR
survey will provide up-to-date
information on the uses and demands
for wildlife-related recreation resources
and a basis for developing and
evaluating programs and projects to
meet existing and future needs.
We collect the information in
conjunction with carrying out our
responsibilities under the DingellJohnson Sport Fish Restoration Act (16
U.S.C. 777–777m) and the Pittman-
PO 00000
Frm 00046

Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act (16
U.S.C. 669–669i). Under these acts, as
amended, we provide approximately $1
billion in grants annually to States for
projects that support sport fish and
wildlife management and restoration,
including:
• Improvement of fish and wildlife
habitats,
• Fishing and boating access,
• Fish stocking, and
• Hunting and fishing opportunities.
We also provide grants for aquatic
education and hunter education,
maintenance of completed projects, and
research into problems affecting fish
and wildlife resources. These projects
help to ensure that the American people
have adequate opportunities for fish and
wildlife recreation. We conduct the
survey about every 5 years. The 2022
FHWAR survey will be the 14th
conducted since 1955. We sponsor the
survey at the States’ request, which is
made through the Association of Fish
and Wildlife Agencies. We contract with
the National Opinion Research Center
(NORC) at the University of Chicago,
which collects the information using
internet, telephone, or mail-in
interviews. Respondents are invited to
take the survey with a mailed letter.
NORC will select a sample of
sportspersons and wildlife watchers
from a household screen and conduct
three detailed interviews during the
survey year. The survey collects
information on the number of days of
participation, species of animals sought,
and expenditures for trips and
equipment. Information on the
characteristics of participants includes
age, income, sex, education, race, and
State of residence.
Federal and State agencies use
information from the survey to make
policy decisions related to fish and
wildlife restoration and management.
Participation patterns and trend
information help identify present and
future needs and demands. Land
management agencies use the data on
expenditures and participation to assess
the value of wildlife-related recreational
uses of natural resources. Wildliferelated recreation expenditure
information is used to estimate the
impact on the economy and to support
the dedication of tax revenues for fish
and wildlife restoration programs.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On
November 29, 2016, the BIA published
a Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS in
connection with the Tribe’s application
requesting that the United States acquire
approximately 232 acres of land in trust
in Shasta County, California, for the
construction and operation of a casino
resort. The proposed fee-to-trust
property is located in an unincorporated
part of Shasta County, California,
approximately 1.6 miles northeast of the
existing Redding Rancheria, and
approximately two miles southeast from
the downtown of the City of Redding.
The proposed trust property includes
seven parcels, bound by Bechelli Lane
on the north, private properties to the
south, the Sacramento River on the
west, and Interstate 5 on the east. The
Tribe is proposing to construct a casino
resort that includes a casino, hotel,
event/convention center, outdoor
amphitheater, retail center, and
associated parking/infrastructure. The
new facility would replace the Tribe’s

existing casino, and the Tribe would
convert the existing casino buildings to
a different Tribal use.
On April 10, 2019, the BIA published
a Notice of Availability in the Federal
Register (84 FR 14391) for the Draft EIS
for the Proposed Redding Rancheria
Fee-to-Trust and Casino Project, Shasta
County, California. On June 6, 2019, the
BIA published a notice in the Federal
Register (84 FR 26440) to extend the
comment period for the Draft EIS to
June 17, 2019.
By letter dated February 21, 2020, the
Tribe notified the Department of the
Interior (Department) that it would
await a decision from the California
Supreme Court in a case arising under
State law and involving the Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act, 25 U.S.C. 2719
et. seq., before the Tribe decided how to
proceed on its application. Therefore,
the Department is suspending its review
of the Tribe’s application and
preparation of the EIS. Since the Tribe’s
request involves action by the California
Supreme Court, the Department does
not have a definite time frame for how
long the suspension will last; however,
the Department will provide notice
when it resumes the environmental
review process.
