SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Public Lands Corps Participant Tracking Sheet.
    OMB Number: 0596-NEW.
    Type of Request: New Information Collection Request.
    Abstract: The Public Lands Corps is a work and education program 
involving the nation's land management agencies, conservation and 
service corps, and environmental organizations that contribute to the 
rehabilitation, restoration, and repair of public lands resources and 
infrastructures. Public Lands Corps projects provide opportunities for 
community and national public service, work experience and training for 
young people who are unemployed or underemployed persons, students, 
recent graduates, and others with an interest in natural and cultural 
resources careers. The law authorizing this program includes 16 U.S.C. 
1721-1726, Chapter 37--Public Lands Corps and Resource Assistants 
Program (Public Lands Corps Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2005 
[Pub. L. 109-154] as amended in 1993, hereafter referred to as ``the 
Act.'')
    The Agency has developed a tracking sheet (FS-1800-0026, Public 
Lands Corps Participant Tracking Sheet) to support the effective 
management of the Public Lands Corps Program. The utilization of the 
Public Lands Corps Tracking Sheet will assist the Agency in ensuring 
qualified program participants lawfully receive a certificate of non-
competitive hiring eligibility, which can be used to apply to Forest 
Service merit announcements on USAJobs. All partners managing Public 
Lands Corps projects are required to submit a Public Lands Corps 
Participant Tracking Sheet to Merlene Mazyck by electronic forms 
through secure email to 21CSC@fs.fed.us. This email address is 
monitored daily. In the future, it is intended that partners will be 
required to electronically submit tracking sheets through a Federal 
Land Management agency web-based project management system. Public 
Lands Corps submission is requested on a quarterly basis unless 
otherwise defined.
    The use of the Public Lands Corps Participant Tracking Sheet 
ensures uniform collection of information regarding tracking and 
monitoring participant engagement in order to determine adherence to 
requirements for non-competitive hiring eligibility as defined in the 
Act. The data--such as participant demographic information, and project 
information--collected will allow the Forest Service, and other Federal 
Land Management Agencies, to monitor the effectiveness of Agency 
efforts to meet the intent of the Act, and engage under-represented 
populations in natural and cultural resource conservation, development 
and scientific research work, and education on public lands. This 
information collection request will ensure that partners maintain a 
record of all Public Lands Corps agreements established with Federal 
Land Management Agencies, participant demographics and education, 
project information and work hours, project locations and dates, and 
status of noncompetitive eligibility certification.
    Type of Respondents: Non-profit Organizations and Non-Federal 
Governmental entities.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 350.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 4; quarterly 
submission.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 1,400.
    Estimated Time per Response: 6 hours per response.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 8,400 hours.

Comment Is Invited

    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 methods or 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 submission of the 
information collection request to Office of Management and Budget.
