Sec. 32.1  Introduction.

    (a) The Young Adult Conservation Corps (YACC) is authorized by title 
I of the Youth Employment and Demonstration Projects Act of 1977 (Pub. 
L. 95-93), which amends the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act 
(CETA) of 1973 by adding a new title VIII.
    (b) The Young Adult Conservation Corps (YACC) is a year-round 
employment program for young men and women aged 16 through 23 inclusive. 
Financial assistance is available through grants-in-aid for employment 
and work to be performed on projects affecting both Federal and non-
Federal public lands and waters or projects limited to non-Federal 
public lands and waters. YACC grants do not require matching.
    (c) The YACC grant program is jointly managed by the Secretaries of 
the Interior and Agriculture under an interagency agreement with the 
Secretary of Labor.

    (d) Thirty percent of the sums appropriated to carry out the YACC 
program for any fiscal year will be available for grants during such 
year. Grant funds will be allocated on the basis of the total youth 
population within each State. State YACC programs must consist of both 
residential and nonresidential projects. At least 25 percent of the 
State YACC program must be residential by September 30, 1978.
