SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we 
provide the general public and other federal agencies with an 
opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of 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 
requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
    On April 6, 2023, we published the 60-day Federal Register Notice 
in the Federal Register (88 FR 20548) to request OMB to approve the 
renewal of the information collection associated with the Youth 
Conservation Corps Application and Medical History Forms. We solicited 
public comments for 60 days, ending June 5, 2023. We did not receive 
any comments from the public.
    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: The Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) is a summer youth 
employment program that engages young people in meaningful work 
experiences at national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and fish 
hatcheries while developing an ethic of environmental stewardship and 
civic responsibility. YCC programs are generally eight to ten weeks and 
members are paid at least the state or federal minimum wage (whichever 
is higher) for a 40-hour work week. YCC opportunities provide paid 
daytime work activities with members who commute to the federal unit 
daily. Authorized by the Youth Conservation Corps Act of August 13, 
1970, as amended (U.S. 1701-1706), participating agencies (National 
Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service) use 
common forms: DI- 4014, ``Youth Conservation Corps Application'' and 
DI-4015, ``Youth Conservation Corps Medical History'' to collect 
information to determine the eligibility of each youth for employment 
with the YCC. Parents or guardians must sign both forms if the 
applicant is under 18 years of age.
    Title of Collection: Youth Conservation Corps Application and 
Medical History Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1093-0010.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Youths 15 through 18 years old seeking 
seasonal employment in the YCC Program.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 11,409 (8,599/
application 2,810/medical history).
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 11,409 (8,599/
application 2,810/medical history).
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 25 minutes/application and 
14 minutes/medical history form.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,239 hours (3,583 
hours/application and 656 hours/medical history forms).
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour Burden Cost: None.
    An agency may not conduct, or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
