That part of the YCC program carried out on non-Federal public lands and waters by States receiving YCC grants-in-aid.(10)Project. The operating unit of the State YCC grant program. A project will be designated as either residential or nonresidential.(i)Residential project.

Federally owned public lands and waters administered by a State or political subdivision thereof under agreement with a Department or Agency of the Federal Government are eligible under such definition if the Secretaries determine that the State or political subdivision thereof is entitled to or is likely to retain administrative responsibility for an extended period of time sufficient to justify classification as non-Federal public lands or waters.
