FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

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 information collection. In accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice 
seeks comments on the National Fire Academy (NFA) Course Evaluation 
Form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The NFA is mandated under the Fire 
Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-498) to provide 
training and education to the Nation's fire service and emergency 
service personnel. To maintain the quality of the training program and 
courses, it is necessary to evaluate them on an ongoing basis.
    Collection of Information:
    Title: National Fire Academy Course Evaluation Form.
    Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently approved 
collection.
    OMB Number: 3067-0234.
    Form Number: FEMA Form 95-20, National Fire Academy Course 
Evaluation Form.
    Abstract: FEMA uses the National Fire Academy Course Evaluation 
Form to evaluate on-campus courses delivered at the NFA facility, 
located in Emmitsburg, Maryland. It is also used to evaluate regional 
courses, which are identical to the NFA resident courses, offered in 
selected regions to students unable to travel to the Emmitsburg campus 
for the resident offering of the course. The data provided by students 
evaluating an NFA course are used to determine the need for course 
improvements and the degree of student satisfaction with the course 
experience.
    Affected Public: Individuals participating in NFA on-campus or 
regional courses.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,375.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,500.
    Estimated Hour Burden Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: The evaluation form is completed after 
completion of a course.
    Estimated Cost: The estimated cost to the respondent is minimal.
    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.
