    Title: Waterfowl Harvest Surveys.
    OMB Approval Number: 1018-0015.
    Abstract: Migratory waterfowl hunting is authorized throughout the 
United States, including Alaska. Information on the magnitude and 
composition of the harvest is needed for sound management and to 
preclude over-harvest of the species involved. Information required for 
effectively governing harvests of migratory birds includes not only 
knowledge of the harvest's magnitude but also information on the 
species, age, and sex composition within that harvest, including the 
geographic and chronologic distribution of these components as they 
relate to various hunting regulations. Because they are interrelated 
and dependent upon each other, there are two related surveys included 
in this request--the Waterfowl Hunter Survey and the Waterfowl Parts 
Survey.
    Service Form Numbers: 3-1823A (Federal Duck Stamp Card); 3-2056G 
(Waterfowl Hunter Survey Questionnaire and Follow-up Questionnaire); 
and Form 3-165 (Waterfowl Parts Survey Envelope) and 3-165A (Volunteer 
Card for Waterfowl Parts Survey).
    Frequency: Annually.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Completion Time: Survey Cards (Form 3-1823) 8 minutes 
each; Questionnaires (Form 3-2056G) 2 minutes each; Waterfowl Parts 
Envelope (Form 3-165), 5 minutes.
    Annual Responses: 63,800 (All forms).
    Annual Burden Hours: 18,159.
