Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office
Building, 725--17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503. Commentors are

respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays

Forest Service
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.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
