I. Abstract
This information collection received
emergency approval from OMB on
December 16, 2014. This approval was
good for six months and we are now
requesting comments as part of the
standard review process.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq., require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)).
Federal land management agencies
are authorized to work with volunteers,
youth programs, and partner
organizations to plan, develop,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:34 Jun 29, 2015
Jkt 235001
maintain, and manage projects and
service activities on public lands and
adjacent projects throughout the nation.
Agencies and partners may recruit,
train, and accept the services of
volunteers, youth programs, and
partners to aid in interpretive functions,
visitor services, conservation measures
and development, research and
development, recreation, and/or other
activities in nearly all areas of service.
Volunteers, youth programs, and
partners can be an efficient, effective,
and cost-beneficial use of public
resources. The participants of these
efforts, especially youth, benefit from
skill development and service learning
that enhances their capacity to find
meaningful employment opportunities
and be stewards for public lands.
In order to effectively engage
hundreds of thousands of volunteers,
youth participants, and partners in
meaningful service activities at multiple
locations, participating agencies and
non-federal organizations, we must
collect information from youth program
participants and volunteers who are
interested in participating, supporting,
and managing programs on public
lands. The information collected from
individuals includes contact
information, demographic data
including ethnicity and veterans and
disability status. Information from
partner organizations includes
agreement, costs incurred, contact
information, IRS status, public financial
reports, and supporting documentation
such as project completion reports,
pictures, and hours contributed.
The information will be collected
through a web based platform that
consists of seven modules including:
The National Park Service (NPS)
Volunteer-In-Parks (VIP) Reporting
Module, Volunteer Time Tracking
Portal, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Volunteer Tracker module, Youth
Partner Tracking Module, Outreach
Recruitment Resume Module,
Partnerships Module, and the
Cooperating Association Module. The
NPS Volunteer-In-Parks (VIP) Reporting
Module allows partners to provide
information on the annual volunteer
efforts they manage independently on
behalf of the federal agencies in
communities and federal lands through
assistance programs. The Volunteer
Time Tracking Portal captures the hours
and volunteers engaged on public lands
for providing America the Beautiful
Volunteer Passes for those individuals
that have contribute more than 250
hours. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Volunteer Tracker module provides
volunteers and volunteer managers in
the field the ability to share recruitment,

Fmt 4703

selection, orientation, project, and
recognition information locally and
nationally in a friendly web-based
format. The Youth Partner Tracking
module will collect data from
individuals between the ages of 16 and
35 which is considered the eligibility
age for youth programs under the 16
U.S.C. 1722 et. seq., Public Lands Corps
(PLC) Act and Interior Departmental
Secretarial Order 3332. The OutreachRecruitment Resume Module will
collect data provided by citizens,
including veterans and youth, seeking
employment opportunities at career
fairs, outreach events, military
programs, and from Public Land Corps
participants. The Partnerships Module
collects information from various
volunteer organizations which are under
national agreements to manage services
and programs on public lands for
citizens and provides an annual
summary of their activities. The
Cooperating Association Module
collects information from not-for-profit
public lands partners under national
agreements to manage bookstores and
sales items with federal agencies.
This request for comments on the
information collection is being
published by the Office of the Secretary,
Department of the Interior and includes
the use of common forms that can be
leveraged by other Federal Agencies.
The burden estimates reflected in this
notice is only for the Department of the
Interior. Other federal Agencies wishing
to use the common forms must submit
their own burden estimates and provide
notice to the public accordingly.

(3) Description of the need and use of
the information: Participating natural
and cultural resource agencies will use
this information to manage agency

and partner programs that support work
on public lands. The federal agencies
will be more accountable to taxpayer by
providing annual reports and program
description of partnership activities
which will be accessible on-line and by
justifying the issuance of America the
Beautiful passes. Also, collecting youth
program hours and demographic
information will allow federal agencies
to provide better customer service to
youth participants who have earned
Public Lands Corps (PLC) credit for time
served with the PLC, which may be
used towards future Federal hiring; and
provide former members of the PLC
noncompetitive hiring status for a
period of not more than 120 days after
completion of PLC service.
As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a
Federal Register notice soliciting
comments on the collection of

reports and program description of partnership activities which will be
accessible on-line and by justifying the issuance of America the
Beautiful passes. Also, collecting youth program hours and demographic
information will allow federal agencies to provide better customer
service to youth participants who have earned Public Lands Corps (PLC)
credit for time served with the PLC, which may be used towards future
Federal hiring; and provide former members of the PLC noncompetitive
hiring status for a period of not more than 120 days after completion
of PLC service.
