Abstract:
Subsistence migratory bird hunting is authorized in subsistence-eligible areas of Alaska. We collect information on the annual subsistence harvest of 60 species of birds (including geese, ducks, swans, cranes, loons, seabirds, shorebirds, and upland game birds) through surveys of households in the subsistence-eligible areas of Alaska. Data are used to promulgate harvest regulations to provide maximum subsistence harvest opportunity while keeping migratory bird populations at desired levels.

Short Statement:
We are requesting 9,729 responses and 811 burden hours for this information collection. This is a decrease of 61,953 responses and 3,705 burden hours. There are no changes in requirements for the report form itself and the burden associated with obtaining household permission and reporting harvest has not changed. However, we have eliminated and/or combined some forms and some information will be provided by paid contractors without response from the individual/household. We have also reduced the number of household visits to obtain harvest information. We are reporting as a program change 23,182 responses and 474 burden hours associated with the eliminated forms. We are reporting as an adjustment 38,771 responses and 3,231 burden hours. These adjustments reflect modifications to the survey methods and procedures adopted by the AMBCC in 2008 and scheduled for implementation in 2010. Estimated response times did not change.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$536,226
