Martha Williams,
Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

We expect the CITES Secretariat to
provide us with a provisional agenda for
CoP19 within the next several months.
Once we receive the provisional agenda,
we will publish it in a Federal Register
notice and provide the Secretariat’s
website address. We will also provide
the provisional agenda on our website,
at https://www.fws.gov/program/cites/
conference-parties-cites.
The United States must submit any
proposals to amend Appendix I or II for
discussion at CoP19, to the CITES
Secretariat 150 days (i.e., by June 17,
2022) prior to the start of the meeting.
In order to meet this deadline and to
prepare for CoP19, we have developed
a tentative U.S. schedule. We will
consider all available information and
comments we receive during the
comment period for this Federal
Register notice as we decide which
species proposal items warrant
submission by the United States for
consideration by the Parties.
Approximately 4 months prior to
CoP19, we will post on our website an
announcement of the species proposals,
draft resolutions, draft decisions, and
agenda items submitted by the United
States to the CITES Secretariat for
consideration at CoP19.
Through a series of additional notices
and website postings in advance of
CoP19, we will inform you about
preliminary negotiating positions on
resolutions, decisions, and amendments
to the Appendices proposed by other
Parties for consideration at CoP19. We
will also publish an announcement of a
public meeting to be held approximately
2 to 3 months prior to CoP19, to receive
public input on our positions regarding
CoP19 issues. The procedures for
developing U.S. documents and
negotiating positions for a meeting of
the Conference of the Parties to CITES
are outlined in 50 CFR 23.87. As noted
in paragraph (c) of that section, we may
modify or suspend the procedures
outlined there if they would interfere
with the timely or appropriate
development of documents for
submission to the CoP and of U.S.
negotiating positions.

the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of

respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.

Abstract: The information collected
for the National Survey of Fishing,

and Wildlife Service in administering
the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration
grant programs. The 2022 FHWAR
survey will provide up-to-date
information on the uses and demands
for wildlife-related recreation resources
and a basis for developing and
evaluating programs and projects to
meet existing and future needs.
We collect the information in
conjunction with carrying out our
responsibilities under the DingellJohnson Sport Fish Restoration Act (16
U.S.C. 777–777m) and the PittmanRobertson Wildlife Restoration Act (16
U.S.C. 669–669i). Under these acts, as
amended, we provide approximately $1
billion in grants annually to States for
projects that support sport fish and
wildlife management and restoration,
including:
• Improvement of fish and wildlife
habitats,
• Fishing and boating access,
• Fish stocking, and
• Hunting and fishing opportunities.
We also provide grants for aquatic
education and hunter education,
maintenance of completed projects, and
research into problems affecting fish
and wildlife resources. These projects
help to ensure that the American people
have adequate opportunities for fish and
wildlife recreation. We conduct the
survey about every 5 years. The 2022
FHWAR survey will be the 14th
conducted since 1955. We sponsor the
survey at the States’ request, which is
made through the Association of Fish
and Wildlife Agencies. We contract with
the National Opinion Research Center
(NORC) at the University of Chicago,
which collects the information using
internet, telephone, or mail-in paperand-pencil instrument (PAPI).
Respondents are invited to take the
survey with a mailed letter. NORC will
select a sample of sportspersons and
wildlife watchers from a household

screen and conduct three detailed
interviews during the survey year. The
survey collects information on the
number of days of participation, species
of animals sought, and expenditures for
trips and equipment. Information on the
characteristics of participants includes
age, income, sex, education, race, and
State of residence. The Wave 3
Freshwater/Saltwater Ratio
Questionnaire is designed to get
freshwater and saltwater fishing data for
coastal states. The Wildlife and
Sportfish Restoration Program is
required to divide fishing management
funds according to the ratio of
freshwater and saltwater anglers in each
coastal state.
Federal and State agencies use
information from the survey to make
policy decisions related to fish and
wildlife restoration and management.
Participation patterns and trend
information help identify present and
future needs and demands. Land
management agencies use the data on
expenditures and participation to assess
the value of wildlife-related recreational
uses of natural resources. Wildliferelated recreation expenditure
information is used to estimate the
impact on the economy and to support
the dedication of tax revenues for fish
and wildlife restoration programs.
Proposed Revisions
The 2022 FHWAR does not currently
include the questions on birdwatching
participation and days of participation
that had been asked in previous rounds
of the FHWAR. However, due to high
interest in the birdwatching data, we are
submitting an amendment to add these
questions to the survey. These questions
will be included in Wave 3 and will ask
about participation in birdwatching and
days of participation for the 12-month
reference period of 2022. The sample

will not be affected and will be the same
across modes.
Below are the questions we will add
to the Wave 3 wildlife watching
questionnaire:
• Last year (from January 1 to
December 31, 2022), did you closely
observe or try to identify birds around
your home, meaning the area within a
1-mile radius of your home?
• Last year (from January 1 to
December 31, 2022), on how many days
did you closely observe or try to identify
birds around your home?
• Last year (from January 1 to
December 31, 2022), on your wildlife
watching trips or outings within the
United States, did you closely observe
birds?
• Last year (from January 1 to
December 31, 2022), on how many days
did you closely observe birds on your
wildlife watching trips or outings
within the United States?

NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING
COMMISSION
Notice of Approved Class III Tribal
Gaming Ordinances
National Indian Gaming
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The purpose of this notice is
to inform the public of Class III tribal
gaming ordinances approved by the
Chairman of the National Indian
Gaming Commission.
DATES: This notice is applicable April
26, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Tearanie McCain, Office of General
Counsel at the National Indian Gaming
Commission, 202–632–7003, or by
facsimile at 202–632–7066 (not toll-free
numbers).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA)
25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., established the
National Indian Gaming Commission
(Commission). Section 2710 of IGRA
authorizes the Chairman of the
Commission to approve Class II and
Class III tribal gaming ordinances.
Section 2710(d)(2)(B) of IGRA, as
implemented by NIGC regulations, 25
CFR 522.8, requires the Chairman to
publish, in the Federal Register,
approved Class III tribal gaming
ordinances and the approvals thereof.
IGRA requires all tribal gaming
ordinances to contain the same
requirements concerning tribes’ sole
proprietary interest and responsibility
for the gaming activity, use of net

revenues, annual audits, health and
safety, background investigations and
licensing of key employees and primary
management officials. The Commission,
therefore, believes that publication of
each ordinance in the Federal Register
would be redundant and result in
unnecessary cost to the Commission.
Thus, the Commission believes that
publishing a notice of approved Class III
tribal gaming ordinances in the Federal
Register is sufficient to meet the
requirements of 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(2)(B).
Beginning September 30, 2021, the
NIGC will publish the notice of
approved gaming ordinances quarterly,
by March 31, June 30, September 30,
and December 31 of each year.
Every approved tribal gaming
ordinance, every approved ordinance
amendment, and the approval thereof,
will be posted on the Commission’s
website (www.nigc.gov) under General
Counsel, Gaming Ordinances within
five (5) business days of approval. Also,
the Commission will make copies of
approved Class III ordinances available
to the public upon request. Requests can
be made in writing to the Office of
General Counsel, National Indian
Gaming Commission, Attn: Tearanie
McCain, C/O Department of the Interior,
1849 C Street NW, MS #1621,
Washington, DC 20240.
The following constitutes a

the Chairman has approved tribal
gaming ordinances authorizing Class III
gaming.
