SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity 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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on January 31, 2020 (85 FR 5691). No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether or not the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information, including the validity of 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 information on those who are to 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.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. 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: We are requesting review and approval from OMB of a new ICR associated with the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) application process to comply with the requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA. The approval of the YCC application and medical history forms is essential to ensuring completion of agencies' conservation work on public lands. Without OMB approval, collection of applications would not begin until well into the hiring season, resulting in delays of critical conservation projects, some of which are necessary to ensure the safety of visitors to public lands.
[top] Under the Youth Conservation Corps Act of August 13, 1970, as amended (U.S. 18701-1706), the U.S. Department of Interior provides seasonal employment for eligible youth 15 through 18 years old. The Youth
