and minor modifications to the Program. This Program provides annually 
a nationwide sample frame of migratory bird hunters, from which 
representative samples of hunters are selected and asked to participate

a brief summary of migratory bird hunting activity from the previous 
year from each licensed migratory bird hunter in their State. States 
forward this information to the Service, and the Service samples 
hunters and conducts national hunter activity and harvest surveys.
