Projects 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Department of the Interior.

wildlife and sport fish conservation 

projects submitted by the International 

Association of Fish and Wildlife 

Agencies (IAFWA) for funding under 

the Multistate Conservation Grant 

Program. This notice is required by the 

Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration 

Programs Improvement Act of 2000 

(Pub. L. 106–408). FY 2006 grants may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration 

Programs Improvement Act of 2000 

(Improvement Act) amended the 

Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration 

Act (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.) and the 

Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration 

Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et seq.) and 

established the Multistate Conservation 

Grant Program. The Improvement Act 

authorizes grants of up to $3 million 

annually from funds available under 

each of the Restoration Acts, for a total 

of up to $6 million annually. Grants 

may be awarded from a list of priority 

projects recommended to the FWS by 

the IAFWA. The Director of the FWS, 

exercising the authority of the Secretary 

of the Interior, need not fund all 

IAFWA-recommended projects, but may 

fund only those projects identified on 

IAFWA’s priority list. Funds under the 

Multistate Conservation Grant Program 

may be used for sport fisheries and 

wildlife management and research 

projects, boating access development, 

hunter safety and education, aquatic 

education, fish and wildlife habitat 

improvements and other purposes 

consistent with the purposes of the 

enabling legislation. 

To be eligible for funding, a project 

must benefit fish and/or wildlife 

conservation in at least 26 States, a 

majority of the States in a region of the 

FWS, or a regional association of State 

fish and wildlife agencies. Grants may 

be awarded to a State or group of States 

as well as to non-governmental 

organizations. For the purpose of 

carrying out the National Survey of 

Fishing, Hunting and WildlifeAssociated Recreation, grants may be 

awarded to the FWS or to a State or a 

group of States. Also, IAFWA requires 

all project proposals to address its 

National Conservation Needs, which are 

announced annually by the IAFWA at 

the same time as its request for 

proposals. Further, applicants must 

provide certification that no activities 

conducted under a Multistate 

Conservation Grant will promote or 

encourage opposition to the regulated 

hunting or trapping of wildlife or to the 

regulated angling for or taking of fish. 

Eligible project proposals are 

reviewed and ranked by IAFWA 

Committees and interested nongovernmental organizations that 

represent conservation organizations, 

sportsmen organizations, and industries 

that support or promote fishing, 

hunting, trapping, recreational shooting, 

bow hunting, or archery. A final list of 

priority projects is recommended by the 

IAFWA’s Committee on National Grants 

to the Directors of State fish and wildlife 

agencies for their approval by majority 

vote. The final approved list is then 

recommended to the FWS for funding 

under the Multistate Conservation Grant 

Program and must be submitted to the 

FWS by October 1. 

This year, the FWS received a list of 

23 IAFWA-recommended projects, 4 of 

which are recommended as contingent 

projects. They are recommended for 

funding in 2006, contingent on the 

Multistate Conservation Grant Program 

receiving additional funds as specified 

in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and 

Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 

2005 (Pub. L. 109–059) passed in 

August 2005. The list recommended by 

IAFWA follows:
