Under the Youth Conservation Corps Act
of August 13, 1970, as amended (U.S. 1701–1706), the U.S.
Department of Interior and the U.S. Department of Agriculture-U.S.
Forest Service provide seasonal employment for eligible youth 15
through 18 years old. The Youth Conservation Corps stresses three
important objectives: 1. Accomplish needed conservation work on
public lands; 2. Provide gainful employment for 15 to 18 year-old
males and females from all social, economic, ethnic, and racial
backgrounds; and 3. Foster, on the part of the 15 through 18
year-old youth, an understanding and appreciation of the Nation’s
natural resources and heritage. Youths seeking training and
employment with the Youth Conservation Corps must complete the
following new common forms included in this emergency clearance
request: DI-4014, “Youth Conservation Corps Application” and
DI-4015, “Youth Conservation Corps Medical History.” The
applicants’ parents or guardians must sign both forms. The
application and medical history forms are evaluated by
participating agencies to determine the eligibility of each youth
for employment with the Youth Conservation Corps. Potential and
actual agencies that may use the common forms included in this
collection include: • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Interior); •
National Park Service (Interior); and, • Other Federal Departments
and Agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service (U.S. Department of
Agriculture).
This is a request for clearance
of a new collection involving the use of two common forms used by
the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture – U.S. Forest Service.
Participating agencies evaluate the
application, upon submission by eligible youth, to select
candidates to the program. This information collection requests OMB
approval for two new common forms for use with the YCC Program.
Youths seeking training and employment with YCC must first complete
the application form DI-4014, “Youth Conservation Corps (YCC)
Application.” Once selected for enrollment, the applicant is
