SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEMA Youth Preparedness Council (YPC) 
was formed to bring together youth leaders from across the country who 
are highly interested and engaged in advocating youth preparedness and 
making a difference in their communities. This collection meets the 
requirements of 6 U.S.C. 742, National Preparedness, and Presidential 
Policy Directive--8 (PPD-8) which emphasize the need for involvement 
from all sectors of society in preparing for and responding to threats 
and hazards.
    This application form is used to select interested council members 
based on dedication to public service, efforts in making a difference 
in their community, and potential for expanding their impact as a 
national advocate for youth preparedness.
    Council members' involvement and activities align with goals 5.2 
and 5.3 from the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR). Members 
are expected to represent the youth perspective on emergency 
preparedness and take information back to their communities to share. 
Council members are expected to develop and complete preparedness-
related projects.
    Youth apply using personal identifiable demographic and contact 
information, which FEMA retains confidentially for the purposes of 
providing acceptance/denial responses to applicants and determining a 
representative sample of applicants. Letters of recommendation and 
academic records are required, while supplemental materials 
highlighting past achievements are encouraged.
    This proposed information collection previously published in the 
Federal Register on July 16, 2024, at 89 FR 57923 with a 60-day public
