Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service

    Title: 4-H Enrollment Report.
    OMB Control Number: 0524-New.
    Summary of Collection: The mission of the National 4-H 
Headquarters; Cooperative State Research, and Extension Service 
(CSREES), is to advance knowledge for agriculture, the environment, 
human health and well-being, and communities by creating opportunities 
for youth. 4-H is the premier youth development program of the United 
States Department of Agriculture. Originating in the early 1900's as 
``four-square education,'' the 4-H's (head-heart-hands-health) seek to 
promote positive youth development, facilitate learning and engage 
youth in the work of their community to enhance the quality of life.
    Need and use of the Information: The annual 4-H Enrollment Report 
is the principal means by which the 4-H movement can keep track of its 
progress, as well as emerging needs, potential problems and 
opportunities. All of the information necessary to run the 4-H program 
is collected from individuals clubs, and other units. The following 
information will be collected: (1) Youth enrollment totals by delivery 
mode; (2) youth enrollment totals by type of 4-H activity; (3) youth 
enrollment totals by school grade; (4) youth enrollment totals by 
gender; (5) youth enrollment totals by place of residence; (6) adult 
volunteer totals; (7) youth volunteer totals; and (8) youth enrollment 
totals by race and ethnicity. Without the information it would be 
impossible to justify federal funding for the 4-H program.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 56.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 56.
