Type of Request: New.
Abstract: This new information
collection will assist in the compilation
of the Senior Youth and Volunteer
Programs (SYVP) Accomplishment
Report. The figures reported regarding
participant ethnicity need to be verified
and accurate, as the information in the
SYVP report is included in the Report
of the Forest Service, shared with
Congress. SYVP program coordinators
will collect information on the ethnicity
of each program participant annually,
and each SYVP participant will have the
opportunity to respond. Inability to
collect the information will result in an
inability to validate the SYVP
Accomplishment Report.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 minutes
(.0333 hour).
Type of Respondents: SYVP
participants.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 100,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 3,333.
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
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)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval.
