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 proposed continuing 

information collections. In accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

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

notice seeks comments concerning the 

U.S. Fire Administration’s National Fire 

Academy Long-term Course Evaluation 

Forms. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The data 

collection from the long-term evaluation 

forms—one for students and one for the 

student’s supervisor—will obtain course 

specific feedback regarding the impact 

of course content on job performance. 

This data is needed to improve 

instructional delivery and curriculum 

design. Demographic data are needed to 

identify differentials in course impact. 

The information collection also 

supports the Government Performance 

and Results Act and the Agency’s 

Programming, Planning and Budgeting 

reporting requirements. In an effort to 

help minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, the paper-based forms 

will be converted to an automated/ 

electronic format that will allow for the 

electronic submission of responses. As 

such the respondent universe will 

increase due to the on-line availability 

of the forms and linkage to the current 

end-of-course evaluation form. By using 

an automated process, it is expected that 

the estimated cost associated with the 

processing of the forms will decrease.
