Pursuant to the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration (Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 669 et
seq.), I have, at this time, apportioned $1,115,157,974 to the States, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands. The funds so apportioned are based on the amount credited during
Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 to the Federal Aid to Wildlife Restoration Fund. This includes
$38,863,670 that was sequestered in 2021 and is now available. A preliminary apportionment of
$817,570,584 was made on December 7, 2021, and is included as a part of this final
apportionment. The funds are available for the FY beginning October 1, 2021, and are available
for the period specified in the Act.

Of the total amount apportioned, I have made $882,058,368 available to the States as provided
by Section 4(b) of the Act. This amount includes $30,710,608 of 2021 sequestered funds. The
amounts apportioned to the States are adjusted so that no State shall receive more than 5 percent
or less than one-half of 1 percent of the amount apportioned under Section 4(b). This
apportioned amount also includes $459,804 of previously apportioned Section 10 funding that
was not obligated within the time identified by Section 10(c)(1) of the Act which I have made
available in accordance with Section 10(c)(2) of the Act, apportioning this amount in accordance
with Section 4(b). Amounts apportioned to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are as
provided by Section 8A of the Act.
Of the total amount apportioned, I have made $225,099,606 available as provided by Section
4(c) of the Act. This includes $7,697,062 of 2021 sequestered funds. The amounts apportioned
to the States are adjusted so that no State shall receive more than 3 percent or less than 1 percent
of the total apportioned under Section 4(c).

Of the total amount apportioned, I have made $8,000,000 in new funding available as provided
by section 10(a) of the Act. This amount includes $456,000 of 2021 sequestered funds. The
amounts apportioned to the States are adjusted so that no State shall receive more than 3 percent
or less than 1 percent of the total apportioned under Section 10(a). Amounts apportioned to the
States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are as provided by Section 4(c) of the Act.

Therefore, in accordance with the above, the final apportionment of Pittman-Robertson Wildlife
Restorations funds for FY2022 is as shown on the enclosed table.

Additional deductions from the Wildlife Restoration Fund and amendments to previous
apportionments include:

Sequestration – A total of $65,024,202 has been temporarily sequestered from the

Wildlife Restoration Fund and will be available for apportionment next year.

Wildlife Restoration Funds yielded $27,266,694 in accrued interest that was transferred
to the North American Wetlands Conservation Account.
Migratory Bird Conservation Fund – A total of $7,707,022 of previously apportioned
Wildlife restoration funds that were not obligated within the timeframes set forth in
Section 669b(a)(1) of the Act. In accordance with that Section, these reverted funds have
been transferred to the FWS Migratory Bird Conservation Fund.
