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 revised
information collection. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, this notice seeks comments
concerning the National Fire Incident
Reporting System (NFIRS).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act
of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–498) authorizes the
National Fire Data Center in the United
States Fire Administration (USFA) 1 to
gather and analyze information on the
magnitude of the Nation’s fire problem,
as well as its detailed characteristics
and trends. The Act further authorizes
the USFA to develop uniform data
reporting methods, and to encourage
and assist state agencies in developing
and reporting data. In order to carry out
the intentions of the Act, the National
Fire Data Center established the
National Fire Incident Reporting System
(NFIRS) in 1975.
NFIRS serves as a cooperative effort of
local, State, and Federal authorities to
improve uniformity in fire incident
reporting and to ensure that data is
usable for fire protection planning and
management. It also enables the USFA,
and many others, to identify common
trends in collected data, which may be
applicable to fire problems on a
national, regional, state, and local scale.
Collection of Information
Title: National Fire Incident Reporting
System (NFIRS) v5.0.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0069.
Form Numbers: Version 5.0 NFIRSforms/modules No. 1–12.
Abstract: NFIRS provides a
mechanism using standardized
reporting methods to collect and
analyze fire incident data at the Federal,
State, and local levels. Data analysis
helps local fire departments and States
to focus on current problems, predict
future problems in their communities,
and measure whether their programs are
working.
Affected Public: Federal, State, and
local governments.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 7,583,585 hours.

response may include several module submissions, though majority only NFIRS 1. Same respondent may respond more than once depending on the number of incidents being reported.
2 Based on an estimated total of 10,000,000 incidents reported annually.
Estimated Cost: The wage burden for
collection of information at the local
level including training is estimated at
$113,667.375 for both manual and
electronic submissions (7,583,585 hrs @
$15/hr). The average cost to respondent
per incident reported is $180.00 and
$71.00 for the manual and electronic
submission, respectively.
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 must be
submitted on or before March 20, 2006.

AGENCY:
The Federal Emergency

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 new
information collection. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, this notice seeks comments
concerning a survey of property owners
in communities with high densities of
disaster recipients to identify flood
insurance purchasing patterns and
develop strategies to improve overall
compliance with flood insurance
regulations.
SUMMARY:
The 1994
National Flood Insurance Act requires
flood victims in Federally declared

disaster areas to purchase flood
insurance as a condition of Federal
financial assistance if their property is
located in a Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA). This flood insurance coverage
must be maintained for the life of a
property loan or if an Individual and
Household Program (IHP) grant is
received, funds to cover the insurance
for three years are deducted from the
grant. Following the three-year, grant
recipients must maintain their
insurance coverage. If these victims do
not comply with these requirements,
they will not be eligible for future
Federal disaster assistance. Flood
insurance compliance among victims of
federally declared flood events appears
to be problematic. FEMA post-disaster
records indicate that a significant
number of flood-damaged structures,
located both in and outside SFHAs,
have either (a) never had flood
insurance, or (b) purchased flood
insurance but did not maintain the
policies.
Collection of Information

Type of Information Collection: New

OMB Number: 1660–NW19.

Abstract: This survey will collect
information on flood insurance
purchasing patterns among property
owners in communities with high
densities of disaster recipients. Data
findings will be used to develop
strategies to improve compliance with
flood insurance regulations.
