SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which implement provisions of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), require that interested 
members of the public and affected agencies have an opportunity to 
comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 
CFR 1320.8(d)). We have submitted a request to OMB to renew its 
approval of the collection of information for the annual certification 
of hunting and sport fishing licenses issued by States and Territories. 
We are requesting a 3-year term of approval for this information 
collection activity.
    Federal agencies may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this 
collection of information is 1018-0007.
    The Service administers grant programs authorized by the Federal 
Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669-669b, 669-669k) and the 
Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 777-777m). These 
Acts, and our regulations at 50 CFR 80.10, require that States annually 
certify their hunting and fishing license sales. The Service uses the 
information collected to determine apportionment and distribution of 
funds under these Acts. We are proposing minimal changes to the forms 
we use to collect this information.
    Title: Annual Certification of Hunting and Sport Fishing Licenses 
Issued, 50 CFR 80.10.

Certification, and Part 2, Summary.

    OMB Control Number: 1018-0007.

    We again invite comments on: (1) Whether the collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the 
collection of information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.
