Management Agency, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response Directorate, 

U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on a proposed continuing 

information collection. In accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this 

notice seeks comments concerning the 

need to conduct a continuous 

evaluation of emergency management 

training programs as it relates to the 

knowledge and skills gained by 

participants through the various 

courses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 44 CFR 

part 360 implements the Emergency 

Management Training Program, 

designed to increase States’ emergency 

management capabilities through 

training of personnel with 

responsibilities over preparedness, 

response, and recovery from all types of 

disasters. The Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act (Public Law 93–288) as 

amended, authorizes training programs 

for emergency preparedness for State, 

local and tribal government personnel. 

In response to the Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA), 

the information obtained from the 

Emergency Management Institute 

‘‘Follow-up Evaluation Survey,’’ will be 

a follow-up tool used to evaluate the 

knowledge and/or skills participants 

obtained at EMI during training courses, 

and to improve Emergency Management 

Institute courses. The information is 

critical to determine if the Emergency 

Management Institute is meeting 

strategic goals and objectives 

established by the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency in order to fulfill 

its mission.

Title: Emergency Management 

Institute Follow-up Evaluation Survey.

Abstract: FEMA Form 95–56, is a selfassessment tool to identify knowledge 

and skills gained by trainees in the

courses taken. The information 

collected is used to: (1) Document and 

measure the performance of the training 

program to comply with mandates from 

the Government Performance and 

Results Act (GPRA) and accountability 

reporting requirements, and (2) conduct 

reviews of course contents and offerings 

by program officials in order to make 

modifications to improve effectiveness 

and efficiency based on survey results.

$5,200.00. 

Comments: Written comments are 

solicited to: (a) Evaluate whether the 

proposed data collection is necessary for 

the proper performance of the agency, 

including whether the information shall 

have practical utility; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. Comments should be 

received within 60 days of the date of 

this notice.
