SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation
Act (Pub. L. 116-9, March 2019) established the John S. McCain III 21st
Century Conservation Service Corps Act (21 CSC Act) that amends and
expands the Public Lands Corps Act. Contained within the 21 CSC Act is
the establishment of the Indian Youth Service Corps (IYSC) Program. The
intent of the IYSC Program is to provide a direct benefit to members of
federally recognized Indian Tribes or Alaska Native corporations. The
IYSC Program will provide meaningful education, employment, and
training opportunities to its participants through conservation
projects on eligible service land, which includes public lands, Indian
lands, and Hawaiian homelands.
While the Public Land Corps is established in the Departments of
Agriculture and Commerce in addition to the Department of the Interior,
the Act specifically charges the Secretary of the Interior with issuing
guidelines for the management of the Indian Youth Service Corps (16
U.S.C. 1727b(c)).

The Department invites Tribes, Alaska Native corporations, and the
Native Hawaiian community to consult on the draft guidelines.
