Terms of Clearance: In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three years. As terms of clearance, however, the Agency is asked to evaluate a future consideration: To value the benefits of the bird hunting program, an office in DOI has been seeking specific data on bird hunting. This collection seems to overlap with their needs, including data on hunting trips, location, and species, and home address of hunters. Please collaborate with them to see how this instrument might be modified to accommodate any additional data needs they have (this may include a couple of more specific data elements such as specific species and hunting expenditures) and if the sampling methodology can fit their purpose.
