SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.

We are especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) is the collection necessary to the proper functions of the DOI; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate ( printed page 14708) of burden accurate; (4) how might the DOI enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the DOI minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology.

Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Abstract: The Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) is a summer youth employment program that engages young people in meaningful work experiences at national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and fish hatcheries while developing an ethic of environmental stewardship and civic responsibility. YCC programs are generally eight to ten weeks and members are paid at least the state or federal minimum wage (whichever is higher) for a 40-hour work week. YCC opportunities provide paid daytime work activities with members who commute to the federal unit daily. Authorized by the Youth Conservation Corps Act of August 13, 1970, as amended (U.S. 1701-1706), participating agencies (National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service) use common forms: DI-4014, “Youth Conservation Corps Application” and DI-4015, “Youth Conservation Corps Medical History” to collect information to determine the eligibility of each youth for employment with the YCC. Parents or guardians must sign both forms if the applicant is under 18 years of age.

Title of Collection: Youth Conservation Corps Application and Medical History Forms.

OMB Control Number: 1093-0010.

Form Number: DI-4014, “Youth Conservation Corps Application,” and DI-4015, “Youth Conservation Corps Medical History Form.”

Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 11,409 (8,599/application 2,810/medical history).
