Notice and request for

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.

Public
Law 106–398, Fire Investment and
Response Enhancement (FIRE) Act, Title
XVII—Assistance to Firefighters,
recognized that America’s fire
departments provide service and
protection with impact far beyond the
borders of the communities that support
them. 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.

requirement for new information in a
study and report on assistance to
firefighters (Sec. 3603). The
Administrator of the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA) is directed to
conduct a study, in conjunction with
the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), to (a) ‘‘define the current roles
and activities associated with the fire
services on a national, State, regional,
and local level;’’ (b) ‘‘identify the
equipment, staffing, and training
required to fulfill the roles and
activities’’ defined in (a);(c) ‘‘conduct an
assessment to identify gaps between
what fire departments currently possess
and what they require to meet the
equipment, staffing, and training needs’’
identified under (b) ‘‘on a national and
State-by-State basis’’; and (d) measure
the impact of the Assistance to
Firefighters Grant program. The act
authorizes $300,000 for FY 2005 for this
work.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Governments; Not-for-Profit Institutions.
Number of Respondents: 5,000.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 20
minutes (.33 hours).
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,665 hours.
Estimated Cost: The total cost to the
Federal government is estimated at
$273,645.00. Cost to all respondents
combined totals $30,772.00 with an
average cost per respondent of $6.00.
Estimated respondents cost is based on
a national mean hourly rate of $18.65
for firefighter occupations.
Frequency of Response: One-time
only survey.
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 information
collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

(d) minimize the burden of the

comments to OMB within 30 days of the
date of this notice. To ensure that FEMA
is fully aware of any comments or
concerns that you share with OMB,
please provide us with a copy of your
comments. FEMA will continue to
accept comments from interested
persons through September 26, 2005).
