SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. 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 2016 FHWAR will 

provide up-to-date information on the 

uses and demands for wildlife-related 

recreation resources, trends in uses of 

those 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 Federal Aid 

in Sport Fish Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 

777–777m), commonly referred to as the 

Dingell-Johnson Act, and the Federal 

Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (16 

U.S.C. 669–669i), commonly referred to 

as the Pittman-Robertson Act. 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 2016 FHWAR will be the 

13th 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 Census Bureau, which collects the 

information using computer-assisted 

telephone or in-person interviews. The 

Census Bureau 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 

managing 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 

economic impact on the economy and to 

support the dedication of tax revenues 

for fish and wildlife restoration 

programs.
