Customer Service and Satisfaction 

Survey of assisted housing residents 

annually. A random sample of residents 

is taken within each public housing 

agency and surveyed on an annual basis

required to announce the survey and 

follow-up on substandard scores. 

Agency form number, if applicable: 

Not applicable. 

Members of affected public: Public 

housing agencies. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents: 482,928 residents receive 

the survey, 3171 PHAs submit 

implementation and follow-up plans, 

HUD receives a total of 166,759 

responses from residents and PHAs 

(total based on 41.38 percent response 

rate for survey); annual submission per 

resident respondents and PHAs; average 

hours for resident response is 15 

minutes; average hours for PHA 

response is 5.45 hours; the total 

reporting burden is 51,466 hours. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Extension of currently 

approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB 

regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which 

implement the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), require that 

interested members of the public and 

affected agencies have an opportunity to 

comment on information collection and 

recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)). Federal agencies may not 

conduct or sponsor and a person is not 

62320 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 209 / Monday, October 31, 2005 / Notices 

required to respond to a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

On May 12, 2005, we published in the 

Federal Register (70 FR 25108) a 60-day 

notice of our intent to request renewal 

of this information collection authority 

from OMB. In that notice, we solicited 

public comments for 60 days ending 

July 11, 2005. We did not receive any 

comments regarding this notice. 

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 

U.S.C. 703–712) and Fish and Wildlife 

Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a–754j–2) 

designate the Department of the Interior 

as the key agency responsible for (1) 

wise management of migratory bird 

populations frequenting the United 

States and (2) setting hunting 

regulations that allow for the well-being 

of migratory bird populations. These 

responsibilities dictate that we gather 

accurate data on various characteristics 

of migratory bird populations. 

The Mourning Dove Call Count 

Survey is an essential part of the 

migratory bird management program. 

The survey is a cooperative effort 

between the Service and State wildlife 

agencies, as well as local and tribal 

biologists. Each spring, State, Service, 

local, and tribal biologists conduct the 

survey to provide the necessary data to 

determine the population status of the 

mourning dove. The Service and the 

States use the survey results to (1) 

develop annual regulations for hunting 

mourning doves, (2) plan and evaluate 

dove management programs, and (3) 

provide specific information necessary 

for dove research. If this survey were 

not conducted, we would not be able to 

determine the population status of 

mourning doves prior to setting 

regulations. 

Title of Collection: Mourning Dove 

Call Count Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 1018–0010. 

Service Form Number: 3–159. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

local, tribal, and Federal employees. 

Total Annual Responses: 1,062 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,796.6 

hours. We believe 80 percent of the 

respondents will enter data 

electronically, with an average reporting 

burden of 2.67 hours per respondent. 

For all other respondents, we estimate 

the reporting burden to be 2.5 hours per 

respondent. 

We invite your comments concerning 

this information collection on: (1) 

Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of our migratory bird 

management functions, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimate of burden, (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 those who are to respond. The 

information collections in this program 

are part of a system of records covered 

by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a). 

Dated: October 5, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB 

regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which 

implement the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), require that 

interested members of the public and 

affected agencies have an opportunity to 

comment on information collection and 

recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)). Federal agencies 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. 

On May 12, 2005, we published in the 

Federal Register (70 FR 25107) a 60-day 

notice of our intent to request renewal 

of this information collection authority 

from OMB. In that notice, we solicited 

public comments for 60 days ending 

July 11, 2005. We received one 

comment regarding this notice. The 

commenter expressed opposition to 

hunting, but did not address the 

collection requirements. We have not 

made any changes to the information 

collection as a result of this comment. 

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 

U.S.C. 703–711) and Fish and Wildlife 

Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742d) designate 

the Department of the Interior as the key 

agency responsible for (1) wise 

management of migratory bird 

populations frequenting the United 

States and (2) setting hunting 

regulations that allow for the well-being 

of migratory bird populations. These 

responsibilities dictate that we gather 

accurate data on various characteristics 

of migratory bird populations. 

The North American Woodcock 

Singing Ground Survey is an essential 

part of the migratory bird management 

program. State, Federal, Provincial, 

local, and tribal conservation agencies 

conduct the survey annually to provide 

the data necessary to determine the 

population status of the woodcock. In 

addition, the information is vital in 

assessing the relative changes in the 

geographic distribution of the 

woodcock. We use the information 

primarily to develop recommendations 

for hunting regulations. Without 

information on the population’s status, 

we might promulgate hunting 

regulations that are not sufficiently 

restrictive, which could cause harm to 

the woodcock population, or too 

restrictive, which would unduly restrict 

recreational opportunities afforded by 

woodcock hunting. The Service, State 

conservation agencies, university 

associates, and other interested parties 

use the data for various research and 

management projects. 

Title of Collection: North American 

Woodcock Singing Ground Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 1018–0019. 

Form Number: FWS Form 3–156. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually.
