    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

    Title: 4-H Enrollment Report.
    OMB Control Number: 0524-0045.
    Summary of Collection: The 1914 Smith-Lever Act created the 
Cooperative Extension System and the land-grant universities and their 
federal partner, the Extension Service, now the National Institute of 
Food and Agriculture, USDA. The mission of the National 4-H 
Headquarters; National Institute of Food and Agriculture, United States 
Department of Agriculture; is to advance scientific knowledge for 
agriculture, the environment, human and animal health and well-being, 
and communities by creating opportunities for youth. 4-H is

[[Page 93656]]

the premier youth development program of the United States Department 
of Agriculture. Originating in the early 1900's as ``four-square 
education,'' the 4-H's (head-heart-hands-health) seek to promote 
positive youth development, facilitate learning and engage youth in the 
work of their community to enhance the quality of life.
    Need and Use of the Information: The annual 4-H Enrollment Report 
is the principal means by which the 4-H movement can keep track of its 
progress, as well as emerging needs, potential problems and 
opportunities. All of the information necessary to run the 4-H program 
is collected from individuals clubs, and other units. The information 
collected is used to report, as requested by the Congress or the 
Administration, on rural versus urban outreach, enrollment by race, 
youth participation in leadership, community service, etc. It is also 
used to determine market share or percentage of the youth of each state 
by age and place of residence who are enrolled in the 4-H youth 
development program. Without the information it would be impossible to 
justify federal funding for the 4-H program.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 109.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 111.
