    Overview of this information collection:
    (1) Type of information collection: New collection.
    (2) The title of the form/collection: Survey of Environmental 
Programs for Youth at Risk.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection. Form: None. Sponsoring

    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract. Primary: Public land managers and public or 
private organizations operating environmental programs for youth at 
risk of delinquency. Other: None. This collection will develop first a 
list of similar programs that provide substantive environmental work 
experience to youth who have shown the precursors to delinquent 
activity or have shown actual delinquent behavior. The information from 
the survey will indicate the extent to which such programs exist and 
provide information needed to create a network of such programs 
throughout the United States. Such network is essential to develop a 
system of information sharing and delivery of technical assistance.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 1,160 
respondents with an average 10 minutes per response for land managers

with the collection: 318 annual burden hours.
