Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks 

comments concerning the long-term 

evaluation forms used to evaluate all 

National Fire Academy resident 

training. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before December 26, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: To avoid duplicate 

submissions to the docket, please use 

only one of the following means to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Dawn Long, Statistician, FEMA,

1488. You may contact the Records 

Management Division for copies of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Fire Academy (NFA) is 

mandated under the Fire Prevention and 

Control Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–498) to 

provide training and education to the 

Nation’s fire service and emergency 

service personnel. The state of-the-art 

programs offered by the NFA serve as 

models of excellence and State and local 

fire service agencies rely heavily on the 

curriculum to train their personnel. To 

maintain the quality of these training 

programs, it is critical that courses be 

evaluated after students have had the 

opportunity to apply the knowledge and 

skills gained from their training. 

Information collected from the 

evaluation forms enables the U.S. Fire 

Administration (USFA) and NFA staff to 

monitor and recommend changes in 

course materials, individual subject 

selection criteria, and to make 

curriculum-wide reviews and 

assessments. FEMA is seeking a revision 

of a currently approved information 

collection because we are modifying the 

two forms. One question was added to 

each form to better reflect and measure 

the NFA’s progress toward the USFA’s 

goals. Two questions were removed 

from the student/trainee form that are 

no longer relevant to NFA’s data 

collection. 

Collection of Information 

Title: National Fire Academy LongTerm Evaluation Form for Supervisors 

and National Fire Academy Long-Term 

Evaluation Form for Students/Trainees. 

Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

President’s Task Force 

On April 21, 1997, the President 

issued Executive Order 13045,1

establishing the President’s Task Force 

on Environmental Health Risks and 

Safety Risks to Children. The Task Force 

works to identify children’s 

environmental health and safety issues, 

develops federal interagency strategies 

to protect children’s environmental 

health and safety, and communicates 

information to federal, state, and local 

decision makers to protect children 

from environmental health risks.2

Among other things, the Task Force is 

developing a comprehensive strategy to 

further reduce lead exposure in 

children’s environments.3 The Task 

Force has 11 executive agency members 

and 7 Executive Office of the President 

agency members.4 Ongoing activities of 

the Task Force are managed by its 

Senior Staff Steering Committee, cochaired by the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) and Health and Human 

Services (HHS). The Senior Staff 

Steering Committee has established five 

subcommittees, one of which is the 

Lead Subcommittee, which is cochaired by HUD, EPA, and HHS staff. 

Lead Reports by the Task Force 

In February 2000, the Task Force 

published ‘‘Eliminating Childhood Lead 

Poisoning: A Federal Strategy Targeting 

Lead Paint Hazards.’’ 5 The strategy put 

forward a set of recommendations 

aimed at eliminating childhood lead 

poisoning in the United States as a 

major public health problem by the year 

2010. It focused primarily on expanding 

efforts to correct lead paint hazards 

(especially in low-income housing), a 

major source of lead exposure for 

children. Addressing lead exposures in 

the United States, however, requires 

consideration of sources of lead 

exposure in addition to lead paint, 

including, among others, soil, food, 

drinking water, and consumer products. 

In November 2016, the Task Force 

published ‘‘Key Federal Programs to 

Reduce Childhood Lead Exposures and
