Sport Fish and Wildlife Resoration: Program Update February 2001 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781505527247)

The Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) Program serves as a model user-pays, user-benefits program. As enacted into law in 1950, the SFR Act (also called the Dingell-Johnson Act for its congressional sponsors) applied a 10% manufacturer's excise tax on fishing rods, reels, creels, and artificial baits, lures, and flies. The U.S. Treasury collected the taxes, transferring the revenue to the Fish and Wildlife Service (prior to the creation of the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund in 1984) as a permanent, indefinite appropriation. The Service distributed SFR funds to the States and Insular Territories to fund projects enhancing sport fish restoration efforts.
