SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act 

(MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.) prohibits 

the unauthorized take of migratory birds 

and authorizes the Secretary of the 

Interior to regulate take of migratory 

birds in the United States. Under this 

authority, we control the hunting of 

migratory game birds through 

regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On 

January 1, 1991, we banned lead shot for 

hunting waterfowl and coots in the 

United States. Wildlife managers and 

policymakers at all levels are becoming 

increasingly concerned about the 

exposure of mourning doves to spent 

lead shot. 

The mourning dove is the mosthunted migratory game bird species. We 

plan to ask OMB for approval to sponsor 

a National Mourning Dove Hunter 

Attitude Survey on Nontoxic Shot. The 

Missouri Department of Conservation 

will conduct the survey under the 

auspices of the Association of Fish and 

Wildlife Agencies and the Service. 

Information from this survey will help 

us make nontoxic shot policy decisions 

and develop appropriate informational 

and educational programs if new 

regulations are necessary. 

Under the Migratory Bird Harvest 

Information Program (HIP) (50 CFR 

20.20), each State annually provides a 

list of all migratory bird hunters 

licensed by the State (OMB Control 

Number 1018-0023). We will use these 

lists to randomly select mourning dove 

hunters to participate in the proposed 

survey. We plan to collect: 

(1) Demographic information (e.g., 

respondent age, gender, income, 

education, and occupation). 

(2) Information on hunting 

experiences (e.g, hunter type, distance 

traveled to hunt, type of ammunition, 

frequency of hunting, and positive and 

negative aspects). 

(3) Perceptions of the benefits and 

concerns about the use of nontoxic shot. 

(4) Perceptions of the benefits and 

concerns about nontoxic shot 

regulations.
