* The estimated number of respondents reached from a sample of households will be 76,000. About 50 percent, or 38,000, of those respondents will sample in and receive a detailed interview. An additional 50 percent of those households where one person is sampled (19,000) will 

have a second person screened in for interviews. We estimate the total number of respondents to be 95,000 (76,000 + 19,000). 

** Of the survey respondents, 5 percent from the screener workload and 6 percent from the third interview sportsmen and wildlife-watching 

user 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 

conducted within the past year. The 

combined total estimated hours of 

respondent burden is 32,254. 

We invite your comments on: (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 the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection 

information; (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 

respondents.
