Forest Service
Title: Visitor Permit and Visitor
Registration Card.
OMB Control Number: 0596–0019.
Summary of Collection: The Organic
Administration Act (30 stat.11), the
Wilderness Act (78 stat.890), the Wild
and Scenic River Act (82 stat. 906) and
Executive Order 11644, all authorize the
Forest Service (FS) to manage the forests
to benefit both land and people. The
information collected from the Visitor’s
Permit Form (FS–2300–30) and Visitor

Jkt 220001
Registration Card (FS–2300–32) help the
Forest Service ensure that visitors’ use
of National Forest System lands is in the
public interest and compatible with the
mission of the agency. The information
is collected from National Forest System
land visitors, who will be asked to
describe their intended use of the land
and the estimated duration of their visit.
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 permit and registration card
allows managers to identify heavily
used areas to prepare restoration and
monitoring plans that reflect where use
is occurring, and in extreme cases, to
develop plans to move forest users to
lesser-impacted areas. The completed
forms also provide managers with
information useful in locating lost forest
visitors. Not being able to use these
forms could result in overuse and site
deterioration in environmentally
sensitive areas.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households; business or
other for-profit; not-for profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents: 460,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Other (per visit).
Total Burden Hours: 23,000.
Forest Service
Title: Youth Conservation Corps
Application & Medical History Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0596–0084.
Summary of Collection: Under Public
Law 93–408, the Youth Conservation
Corps Act (YCC), the Forest Service
(U.S. Department of Agriculture), and
agencies within the Department of the
Interior (the Fish and Wildlife Service,
National Park Service, and Bureau of
Land Management) cooperate to provide
seasonal employment for eligible youth
15 to 18 years old.
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 the information
needed to manage the program would be
virtually insurmountable.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 20,000.
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 2,267.

2008 (the Act), 7 U.S.C. 2020(B), State
agencies are required to submit a Plan
of Operation specifying the manner in
which SNAP will be conducted. The
State Plan of Operations, in accordance
with current rules at 7 CFR 272.2,
consists of a Federal/State Agreement,
annual budget and activity statements,

State Plan of Operation. State Plans of
Operation are a one-time effort with
updates that are provided as necessary.
Under section 16 of the Act, 7 U.S.C.
2025, the Secretary is authorized to pay
each State agency an amount equal to 50
percent of all administrative costs
involved in each State agency’s
operation of the SNAP. Under
corresponding SNAP regulations at 7
CFR 272.2, the State agencies must
submit annually to FNS for approval, a
Budget Projection Statement (Form
FNS–366A), which projects the total
costs for major areas of SNAP
operations, and a Program Activity
Statement (Form FNS–366B), which
provides a summary of SNAP operations
during the preceding fiscal year. The
reports are required to substantiate the
costs the State agency expects to incur
during the next fiscal year. Form FNS–
366A is submitted annually by August
15, for the upcoming fiscal year and
Form FNS–366B must be submitted no
later than 45 days after the end of each
State agency’s fiscal year.
In fiscal year (FY) 2009, 91 percent of
State agencies submitted the FNS–366A
electronically and 9 percent submitted a
paper report. For FY 2009, a total of 82
percent of State agencies submitted the
FNS–366B electronically with the
remaining 18 percent submitting paper
reports.
Finally, State agencies are required to
submit certain other documents to FNS
for review relating to certain specific
activities that the State agency may
choose to do. These other submissions
include but are not limited to Advance
Planning Documents (APD) if the State
agency wishes to acquire proposed
automated data processing (ADP)
services, systems or equipment;
Number of respondents
Frequency of
response
outreach plans if the State elects to do
