    Title: Youth Conservation Corps Application & Medical History 
Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0084.
    Summary of Collection: The Youth Conservation Corps Act of 1970, as 
amended (Pub. L. 93-408), and 16 U.S.C. 1701-1706, Chapter 37, Youth 
Conservation Corps and Public Lands Corps, authorizes the USDA Forest 
Service (FS) and Department of the Interior agencies Fish and Wildlife 
Service and National Park Service to collect information on 
applications and medical history forms to evaluate the eligibility of 
youths 15 to 18 years old for employment with the Youth Conservation 
Corps (YCC). FS and the Department of Interior cooperate to provide 
seasonal employment for eligible youth and in doing so prepare the 
young adults of this country for the ultimate responsibility of 
maintaining and managing these resources for the American people.
    Need and Use of the Information: Youth, ages 15-18, who seek 
training and employment with participating agencies through the YCC 
must complete an application form (FS-1800-18) and once selected for 
employment must complete a medical history form (FS-1800-3). The 
applicant's parents or guardian must sign both forms. The application 
form is used in the random selection process and the medical history 
form provides information needed to determine certification of 
suitability, any special medical or medication needs, and a file record 
for the Federal Government and participants. If these forms were not 
used, the Federal government's ability to oversee the Youth 
Conservation Corps program would be greatly impaired. The 
organizational and liability issues that would result from inability to 
collect this information needed to manage the program would be 
virtually insurmountable.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 8,500.
    Frequency of Responses: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,360.
