SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, announce the Fiscal 
Year (FY) 2017 priority list of grant awards for the wildlife and sport 
fish conservation projects from the Association of Fish and Wildlife 
Agencies (Association). As required by the Wildlife and Sport Fish 
Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000, the Association submits a 
list of projects to us each year to consider for funding under the 
Multistate Conservation Grant Program. We have reviewed the list and 
recommended all for award to the Director. The Director approved the

list.

Coordinator; Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program; U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service; 5275 Leesburg Pike; MS: WSFR; Falls Church, VA 22041-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fish and Wildlife Programs Improvement 
and National Wildlife Refuge System Centennial Act of 2000 (Improvement 
Act, Pub. L. 106-408) amended the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife 
Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.) and the Dingell-Johnson Sport 
Fish Restoration

[[Page 42675]]

Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et seq.) and established the Multistate Conservation 
Grant Program. The Improvement Act authorizes us to award grants of up 
to $3 million annually from funds available under each of the 
restoration acts, for a total of up to $6 million annually. Projects 
can be funded from both funds, depending on the project activities. We 
may award grants to projects from a list of priority projects 
recommended to us by the Association. The Service Director, exercising 
the authority of the Secretary of the Interior, need not fund all 
projects on the list, but all projects funded must be on the list.
    The Improvement Act provides that funding for Multistate grants is 
available in the year it is appropriated and for the following year. 
Total funding available for new FY 2017 Multistate Conservation grants 
was $2,522,000. This total was made up of funding that was carried over 
from FY 2016, added to the funding that was previously sequestered, and 
subtracted committed funds ($3,261,027) for FY 2017. Those committed 
funds were directed into the three components of the 2016 National 
Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (parts A 
and B).
    Grantees under this program may use funds for sport fisheries and 
wildlife management and research projects, boating access development, 
hunter safety and education, aquatic education, fish and wildlife 
habitat improvements, and other purposes consistent with the enabling 
legislation.
    To be eligible for funding, a project must benefit fish and/or 
wildlife conservation for at least 26 States, a majority of the States 
in any one Service Region, or one of the regional associations of State 
fish and wildlife agencies. We may award grants to a State, a group of 
States, or one or more nongovernmental organizations. For the purpose 
of carrying out the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-
Associated Recreation, we may award grants to the Service, if requested 
by the Association, or to a State or a group of States. Also, the 
Association requires all project proposals to address its National 
Conservation Needs, which the Association announces annually at the 
same time it requests proposals. Further, applicants must provide 
certification that no activities conducted under a Multistate 
Conservation Grant will promote or encourage opposition to regulated 
hunting or trapping of wildlife, or to regulated angling or taking of 
fish.
    The Association committees and interested nongovernmental 
organizations that represent conservation organizations, sportsmen's 
and women's organizations, and industries that support or promote 
fishing, hunting, trapping, recreational shooting, bowhunting, or 
archery review and rank eligible project proposals. The Association's 
National Grants Committee recommends a final list of priority projects 
to the directors of the State fish and wildlife agencies for their 
approval by majority vote. By statute, the Association then transmits 
the final approved list to the Service for funding under the Multistate 
Conservation Grant program by October 1 of the fiscal year. For FY 
2017, the Association sent us a list of 17 new projects, plus the three 
previously approved components of the 2016 National Survey of Fishing, 
Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation that they recommended for 
funding. The Director approved all projects on this list and all have 
been awarded. The list follows:
