ACTION: Notice of proposed information

collection; request for comments.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (Service) plans to submit the

collection of information described

below to the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) for approval under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995. Copies of the specific

information collection requirements,

related forms and explanatory material

may be obtained by contacting the

Service’s Information Collection

Clearance Officer at the address

provided below.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all

comments received on or before July 10,

2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments and suggestions

on the requirements should be sent to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OMB

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which

implement provisions of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (Public Law 104–

13), require that interested members of

the public and affected agencies have an

opportunity to comment on information

collection and record keeping activities

(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). We are seeking

clearance from the OMB to collect

information in conjunction with

carrying out our responsibilities under

the Federal Aid in Sport Fish

Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 777–777K)

commonly referred to as the DingellJohnson Act, and the Federal Aid in

Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 699–

699i) commonly referred to as the

Pitman-Robertson Act. Under these acts,

as amended, almost $400 million in

grants are provided annually to States

for projects to support sport fish and

wildlife management and restoration,

including the acquisition and

improvement of aquatic resources,

fishing access, fish stocking, and the

acquisition and improvement of wildlife

management areas, facilities, and access.

Grants also are provided for aquatic

education and hunter education,

maintenance of completed projects, and

research into the problems affecting fish

and wildlife resources. Those projects

help ensure that the American people

have adequate opportunities for

wildlife-related recreation. To assist in

carrying out its responsibilities, the

Service has sponsored national surveys

of fishing and hunting at about 5 year

intervals since 1955. The Bureau of the

Census conducts the survey for the

Service. The survey data are needed to

allow the Service to effectively

administer the Sport Fish and Wildlife

Restoration Grant Programs, and to help

States develop project proposals and

conservation programs that meet the

needs of their populations. The survey

collects information on the number of

people participating in wildlife-related

recreation, the number of days and

expenditures spent on those activities.

Survey data are needed to provide

comparable state level information on

existing recreation demands and to

provide a basis for projecting future

demands to effectively meet the needs

of the American people. The

information is needed to evaluate the

effectiveness of existing programs in

meeting those needs, formulate new

policies, develop programs, and support

budget proposals and legislation for the

benefit of sport fish and wildlife

restoration. Data are needed to evaluate

the status and trends of recreational

uses, as well as the values and benefits,

of fish and wildlife resources. The

comprehensive comparable state-level

data provided by the survey are not

available from other sources. The

Service is requesting a three year term

of approval for this information

collection. An agency may not conduct

or sponsor, and a person is not required

to respond to, a collection of

information unless it displays a

currently valid OMB control number.

We invite your comments on: (1)

Whether the collection of information is

necessary for the proper performance of

the functions of the agency including

whether 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.

Title: 2001 National Survey of

Fishing, Hunting, and WildlifeAssociated Recreation (FHWAR).

Approval Number: New.

Survey Form Numbers: FH–2 (Screen),

FH–3 (Sportsmen), FH–4 (nonconsumptive) Questionnaires.

Description and Use: The 2001

National Survey of Fishing, Hunting,

and Wildlife Associated Recreation will

be the 10th one conducted since 1955.

It is conducted every 5 years and is

requested by the States through the

International Association of Fish and

Wildlife Agencies. It will be conducted

by the Bureau of the Census using

computer-assisted telephone or inperson interviews. A sample of

sportsmen and non-consumptive

participants will be selected from a

household screen. Sample persons will

be asked about their participation and

expenditures. Three detailed interviews

will be conducted during the survey

year. The 2001 FHWAR Survey will be

similar in scope to past surveys. It will

generate information identified as

priority data needed by the Federal and

State fish and wildlife agencies

responsible for administering the Sport

Fish and Wildlife Restoration grant

programs. Accordingly, the 2001

FHWAR Survey will be a

comprehensive data base of fish and

wildlife-related recreation activities

such as freshwater, saltwater, and Great

Lakes fishing; and big game, small game,

migratory bird, and other animal

hunting. Wildlife watching (nonconsumptive) activities include wildlife

observation, feeding, and photographing

around the home and on trips away

from home. Information is collected on

days of participation, the species of

animals sought, and how much money

was spent on trips and for equipment.

Information on the characteristics of

participants include age, income, sex,

education, race, and residency. The

survey data has State level reliability.

Federal and State fish and wildlife

agencies use information from the

survey as a basis to formulate

management and policy decisions

related to sport fish and wildlife

restoration. Participation patterns and

trend information assist in identifying

present and future needs and demands.

The information is used for planning the

acquisition, development, and

enhancement of fish and wildlife

resources for the benefit of wildliferelated recreation. Data on expenditures,

economic evaluation, and participation

are used by land managing agencies to

assess the value of fish and wildliferelated uses of natural resources.

Expenditure information is used by

States to estimate the economic impact

of wildlife-related recreation

expenditures on their economies and to

support the dedication of tax revenues

to support fish and wildlife restoration

programs. The information collected on

resident saltwater fishing will assist

coastal States in determining the proper

ratio for allocating funds between

freshwater and saltwater projects as

required by the Federal Aid in Sport

Fish Restoration Act, as amended. The

information is not readily available

elsewhere because few States have

saltwater licenses or conduct their own

surveys. If the 2001 FHWAR Survey

data were not available it would impair

the ability of those States to meet their

obligations under the Act.

In summary, the information

collection is needed to assist the Fish

and Wildlife Service and the State fish

and wildlife agencies in administering

the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration

grant programs. The 2001 FHWAR

Survey will provide up-to-date

information on the uses and demands

for wildlife-related recreation resources,

trends in the uses of those resources,

and a basis for developing and

evaluating programs and projects to

meet existing and future needs. The

information collection is subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act requirements

for such activity, which includes

soliciting comments from the general

public regarding the nature and burden

imposed by the collection.

Frequency of Collection: Household

screen interviews and the first detailed

sportsmen and non-consumptive

participant interviews will be

26850 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 90 / Tuesday, May 9, 2000 / Notices

conducted April–June 2001. The second

detailed interviews will be conducted

September–October 2001. The third and

last detailed interviews will be

conducted January–March 2002.

Description of Respondents:

Individuals.

Estimated Completion Time: We

estimate the average completion time

per respondent to be about 7 minutes for

the screen and 15 minutes for the

detailed interviews. A respondent will

average 2 interviews during the survey

period.

Number of Respondents: It is

estimated that there will be 80,000 total

respondents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9

of the Act prohibits the ‘‘taking’’ of

endangered species such as the goldencheeked warbler, Bone Cave

harvestman, Tooth Cave spider, Bee

Creek Cave harvestman, Tooth Cave

pseudoscorpion, Tooth Cave ground

beetle and the Kretschmarr Cave mold

beetle. However, the Service, under

limited circumstances, may issue

permits to take endangered wildlife

species incidental to, and not the

purpose of, otherwise lawful activities.

Regulations governing permits for

endangered species are at 50 CFR 17.22.

Applicant

Comanche Canyon Inc. plans to

construct residential and commercial

structures with associated streets and

utilities in Travis County, Texas. This

action will eliminate approximately 26

acres of habitat and indirectly impact 37

additional acres of golden-cheeked

warbler habitat. The Applicant proposes

to compensate for this incidental take of

golden-cheeked warbler habitat by

preserving a minimum of 213 acres onsite.

If any voids are encountered that

contain the listed karst invertebrates,

the Applicant will minimize and

mitigate any impacts determined by the

Service.

Alternatives to this action were

rejected because not developing the

subject property with federally listed

species present would not add preserve
