SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Sandhill Crane Harvest

Questionnaire.

OMB Approval Number: 1018–0023.

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty

Act and the Fish and Wildlife Act of

1956 designates the Department of the

Interior as the key agency responsible

for the wise management of migratory

bird populations frequenting the United

States and for setting hunting

regulations that allow appropriate

harvest that allow for the populations’

well being. Beginning in 1960, hunting

seasons have been allowed for sandhill

cranes in portions, or in all, of nine

midwestern states—Colorado, Montana,

New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma,

South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming and

Kansas. The information collected will

be used to estimate the magnitude,

geographical and temporal distribution

of sandhill crane harvest and the

portion it constitutes of the total

population. Also, data collected will be

used to determine the effects on

harvests of daily bag limits to preclude

over-harvests, and assist in determining

if changes in hunting dates and the

areas of States open to hunting are

warranted.

Service Form Number(s): 3–530; 3–

530A.

Frequency: Annually.

Description of Respondents:

Individuals and households.

Completion Time: The reporting

burden is estimated to average 5

minutes per respondent.

Annual Responses: Recent Service

experience indicates that about 3,600

hunters will respond to the

questionnaire each year. This is a

decrease of about 4,400 respondents.

The number of hunters contacted

annually has decreased due to a change

in sampling rates. A recent Service

evaluation of sampling rates indicated

that sampling rates could be reduced

without compromising the utility of

survey results for population

management purposes.

Annual Burden Hours: 299.

Dated: May 3, 1996.

Assistant Director—Refuges and Wildlife.
