I. Abstract

    The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669-669i) 
and the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 777-777k) 
provide Federal assistance to the States for management and restoration 
of fish and wildlife. These Acts and our regulations at 50 CFR 80.10 
require that States and territories annually certify their hunting and 
fishing license sales. States and territories that receive grants under 
these Acts use FWS Forms 3-154A (Part I--Certification) and 3-155B 
(Part II--Summary of Hunting and Sport Fishing Licenses Issues) to 
certify the number and amount of hunting and fishing license sales. We 
use the information collected to determine apportionment and 
distribution of funds according to the formula specified in each Act.
