Abstract: The information collected 

for the National Survey of Fishing, 

Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated 

Recreation (FHWAR) assists Federal and 

State agencies in administering the 

Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration 

grant programs. The 2011 FHWAR will 

provide up-to-date information on the 

uses and demands for wildlife-related 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

54908 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 174 / Thursday, September 9, 2010 / Notices 

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 Pitman-Robertson Act. Under 

these acts, as amended, we provide 

approximately $800 million 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 2011 FHWAR will be the 

12th conducted since 1955. We sponsor 

the survey at the States’ request, which 

is made through the Association of Fish 

and Wildlife Agencies. The Census 

Bureau collects the information using 

computer-assisted telephone or inperson 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 

residency. 

Comments: On February 8, 2010, we 

published in the Federal Register (75 

FR 6216) a notice of our intent to 

request that OMB renew this ICR. In that 

notice, we solicited comments for 60 

days, ending on April 9, 2010. We did 

not receive any comments. 

We again invite comments concerning 

this information collection on: 

• Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; 

• The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment, including your personal 

identifying information, may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask OMB in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that it will be done.
