tion 4182 of such Code, be covered into the Federal aid to wildlife 
restoration fund in the Treasury (hereinafter referred to as the 
'fund') and is authorized to be appropriated and made available until 
expended to carry out the purposes of this Act." 
SEC. 102. Sections 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, and 8 (a) of the Federal Aid in Wild-
life Restoration Act of September 2, 1937 (16 U.S.C. 669c—669g-l), 
are amended to read as follows: 
SEC. 4. (a) So much, not to exceed 8 per centum, of the revenues 
covered into said fund in each fiscal year as the Secretary of the 
Interior may estimate to be necessary for his expenses in the admin-
istration and execution of this Act and the Migratory Bird Conserva-
tion Act shall be deducted for that purpose, and such sum is authorized 
to be made available therefor until the expiration of the next succeed-
ing fiscal year, and within sixty days after the close of such fiscal 
year the Secretary of the Interior shall apportion such part thereof 
as remains unexpended by him, if any, and make certificate thereof 
to the Secretary of the Treasury and to the State fish and game depart-
ments on the same basis and in the same manner as is provided as to 
other amounts authorized by this Act to be apportioned among the 
States for such current fiscal year. The Secretary of the Interior, 
after making the aforesaid deduction, shall apportion, except as pro-
vided in subsection (b) of this section, the remainder of the revenue 
in said fund for each fiscal year among the several States in the follow-
ing manner: One-half in the ratio which the area of each State bears 
to the total area of all the States, and one-half in the ratio which the 
number of paid hunting-license holders of each State in the second 
fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for which such apportionment is 
made, as certified to said Secretary by the State fish and game depart-
ments, bears to the total number of paid hunting-license holders of all 
the States. Such apportionments shall be adjusted equitably so that 
no State shall receive less than one-half of 1 per centum nor more than 
5 per centum of the total amount apportioned. The term fiscal year 
as used in this Act shall be a period of twelve consecutive months from 
July 1 through the succeedmg June 30, except that the period for 
enumeration of paid hunting-license holders shall be a State's fiscal 
or license year. 
"(b) One-half of the revenues accruing to the fund under this Act 
each fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year 1971) from any tax 
imposed on pistols and revolvers shall be apportioned among the States 
in proportion to the ratio that the population of each State bears to 
the population of all the States: Provided^ That each State shall 
be apportioned not more than 3 per centum and not less than 1 per 
centum of such revenues. For the purpose of this subsection, popula-
tion shall be determined on the basis of the latest decennial census 
for which figures are available, as certified by the Secretary of 
Commerce.

administering and executing this Act and the Migratory Bird Conser-
vation Act and the sum which he has apportioned to each State. Any 
State desiring to avail itself of the benefits of this Act shall notify 
the Secretary of the Interior to this effect within sixty days after 
it has received the certification referred to in this section. The sum 
apportioned to any State which fails to notify the Secretary of the 
Interior as herein provided is authorized to be made available for 
expenditure by the Secretary of the Interior in carrying out the pro-
visions of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act. 
"SEC. 6. (a) Any State desiring to avail itself of the benefits 
^.ZtVU'd'S-
of this Act shall, by its State fish and game department, submit pro- provai. 
grams or projects for wildlife restoration in either of the following 
two ways: 
"(1) The State shall prepare and submit to the Secretary of the 
Interior a comprehensive fish and wildlife resource management plan 
which shall insure the perpetuation of these resources for the economic, 
scientific, and recreational enrichment of the people. Such plan shall 
be for a period of not less than five years and be based on projections 
of desires and needs of the people for a period of not less than fifteen 
years. It shall include provisions for updating at intervals of not 
more than three years and be provided in a format as may be required 
by the Secretary of the Interior. If the Secretary of the Interior finds 
that such plans conform to standards established by him and approves 
such plans, he may finance up to 75 per centum of the cost of imple-
menting segments of those plans meeting the purposes of this Act 
from funds apportioned under this Act upon his approval of an 
annual agreement submitted to him. 
"(2) A State may elect to avail itself of the benefits of this Act 
by its State fish and game department submitting to the Secretary of 
the Interior full and detailed statements of any wildlife-restoration 
project proposed for that State. If the Secretary of the Interior finds 
that such project meets with the standards set by him and approves 
said project, the State fish and game department shall furnish to 
him such surveys, plans, specifications, and estimates therefor as he 
may require. If the Secretary of the Interior approves the plans, 
specifications, and estimates for the project, he shall notify the State 
fish and game department and immediately set aside so much of said 
fund as represents the share of the United States payable under this 
Act on account of such project, which sum so set aside shall not exceed 
75 per centum of the total estimated cost thereof. 
"The Secretary of the Interior shall approve only such comprehen-
sive plans or projects as may be substantial in character and design 
and the expenditure of funds hereby authorized shall be applied only to 
such approved comprehensive wildlife plans or projects and if other-
wise applied they shall be replaced by the State before it may par-
ticipate in any further apportionment under this Act. No payment 
of any money apportioned under this Act shall be made on any com-
prehensive wildlife plan or project until an agreement to participate 
therein shall have been submitted to and approved by the Secretary 
of the Interior. 
"(b) If the State elects to avail itself of the benefits of this Act by 
preparing a comprehensive fish and wildlife plan under option (1)

definitions notwithstanding. 
"(c) Administrative costs in the form of overhead or indirect costs 
for services provided by State central service activities outside of 
the State agency having primary jurisdiction over the wildlife 
resources of the State which may be charged against programs or 
projects supported by the fund established by section 3 of this Act 
shall not exceed in any one fiscal year 3 per centum of the annual 
apportionment to the State. 
"SEC. 7. (a) When the Secretary of the Interior shall find that any 
project approved by him has been completed or, if involving research 
relating to wildlife, is being conducted, in compliance with said plans 
and specifications, he shall cause to be paid to the proper authority of 
said State the amount set aside for said project. The Secretary of the 
Interior may, in his discretion, from time to time, make payments on 
said project as the same progresses; but these payments, including 
previous payments, if any, shall not be more than the United States 
pro rata share of the project in conformitv with said plans and speci-
fications. If a State has elected to avail itself of the benefits of this 
Act by preparing a comprehensive fish and wildlife plan as provided 
for under option (1) of subsection (a) of section 6 of this Act, and 
this plan has been approved by the Secretary of the Interior, then the 
Secretary may, in his discretion, and under such rules and regulations 
as he may prescribe, advance funds to the State for financing the 
United States pro rata share agreed upon between the State fish and 
game department and the Secretary. 
"(b) Any construction work and labor in each State shall be per-
formed in accordance with its laws and under the direct supervision 
of the State fish and game department, subject to the inspection 
and approval of the Secretary of the Interior and in accordance 
with rules and regulations made pursuant to this Act. The Secre-
tary of the Interior and the State fish and game department of each 
State may jointly determine at what times and in what amounts 
payments shall be made under this Act. Such payments shall be made 
by the Secretary of the Treasury, on warrants drawn by the Secre-
tary of the Interior against the said fund to such official or officials, 
or depository, as may be designated by the State fish and game depart^ 
ment and authorized under the laws of the State to receive public 
funds of the State. 
"SEC. 8. (a) Maintenance of wildlife-restoration projects estab-
lished under the provisions of this Act shall be the duty of the States 
in accordance with their respective laws. Beginning July 1, 1945, the 
term 'wildlife-restoration project', as defined in section 2 of this 
Act, shall include maintenance of completed projects. Notwithstand-
ing any other provisions of this Act, funds apportioned to a State 
under this Act may be expended by the State for management 
(exclusive of law enforcement and public relations) of wildlife areas 
and resources. 
"(b) Each State may use the funds apportioned to it under section 
4(b) of this Act to pay up to 75 per centum of the costs of a hunter 
safety program and the construction, operation, and maintenance of 
public outdoor target ranges, as a part of such program. The non-
Federal share of such costs may be derived from license fees paid by 
hunters, but not from other Federal grant programs. The Secretary 
shall issue not later than the 120th day after the effective date of this 
subsection such regulations as he deems advisable relative to the cri-
teria for the establishment of hunter safety programs and public 
outdoor target ranges under this subsection.

SEC. 201. Section 4 of the Federal Aid in Fish Restoration Act of 
1950 (16 U.S.C. 777c) is amended to read as follows: 
"SEC. 4. So much, not to exceed 8 per centum, of each annual appro-
priation made in pursuance of the provisions of section 3 of this Act 
as the Secretary of the Interior may estimate to be necessary for his 
expenses in the conduct of necessary investigations, administration, 
and the execution of this Act and for aiding in the formulation, adop-
tion, or administration of any compact between two or more States 
for the conservation and management of migratory fishes in marine 
or fresh waters shall be deducted for that purpose, and such sum is 
authorized to be made available therefor until the expiration of the 
next succeeding fiscal year. The Secretary of the Interior, after making 
the aforesaid deduction, shall apportion the remainder of the appro-
priation for each fiscal year among the several States in the following 
manner: 40 per centum m the ratio which the area of each State includ-
ing coastal and Great Lakes waters (as determined by the Secretary of 
the Interior) bears to the total area of all the States, and 60 per 
centum in the ratio which the number of persons holding paid licenses 
to fish for sport or recreation in the State in the second fiscal year 
preceding the fiscal year for which such apportionment is made, as 
certified to said Secretary by the State fish and game departments, 
bears to the number of such persons in all the States. Such appor-
tionments shall be adjusted equitably so that no State shall receive 
less than 1 per centum nor more than 5 per centum of the total amount 
apportioned. Where the apportionment to any State under this sec-
tion is less than $4,500 annually, the Secretary of the Interior may 
allocate not more than $4,500 of said appropriation to said State to 
carry out the purposes of this Act when said State certifies to the 
Secretary of the Interior that it has set aside not less than $1,500 from 
its fish-and-game funds or has made, through its legislature, an 
appropriation in this amount for said purposes. So much of any sum
