The subsistence harvest of migratory birds has been monitored for more than 15 years using voluntary annual household surveys. Continuation of this monitoring enables tracking of any major changes or trends in levels of harvest. We have received Office of Management and Budget approval for these surveys, and the control number is 1018-0124, which expires on January 31, 2010.
