AGENCY: Notice and request for comments. ACTION: SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is submitting a request for reinstatement of a previously approved collection of information under the emergency processing procedures in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulation 5 CFR 1320.13. FEMA is requesting that this information collection be approved by August 26, 2005. The approval will authorize FEMA to use the collection through February 26, 2006. To help us with the timely processing of the emergency clearance submission to OMB, FEMA invites the general public to comment on the proposed collection of information.

In order to provide this service and protection with the effectiveness, speed, and safety that their home communities and the nation as a whole demand, many fire departments, local community and state entities will need to increase their resources, in any of several categories. PL 106–398 created a fund to support worthy proposals to address these needs. But PL 106–398 also recognized that our current understanding of the magnitude and nature of fire department needs is not well defined. Furthermore, the rationale for Federal government assistance to meet these needs is also in need of greater definition, given the normal presumption that routine fire protection is a local function, set to meet locally defined goals and supported by local resources. Accordingly, PL 106–398, Section 1701, Sec. 33 (b) required that the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conduct a study to define the current role and activities associated with the fire services; determine the adequacy of current levels of funding; and provide a needs assessment to identify shortfalls. Collection of Information: Title: U.S. Fire Service Needs Assessment Survey. Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection. OMB Number: 3067–0294.
