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

    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.
    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

Conservation Corps. Potential and actual agencies that may use the 
common forms included in this collection include:
