Need and Use of the Information: FS will collect the visitor’s name, address, area to be visited, date of visit, length of stay, method of travel, number of people, and number of pack and saddle stock.

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 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8035 Corps program would be greatly impaired. The organizational and liability issues that would result from inability to collect the information needed to manage the program would be virtually insurmountable.
