Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), 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 continued use
of FEMA Form 95–22, Application for
Admission, that is used to select
participants for the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA) Executive Fire
Officer Program (EFOP).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public
Law 93–498, the Fire Prevention and
Control Act of 1974, created the
National Fire Academy (NFA) which
provides for courses and programs to
train fire service personnel. Since 1985
USFA/NFA has sponsored and offered
the EFOP, a professional development
program for senior and executive level
fire officers. The standard application
form (FEMA Form 75–5, approved
under OMB No. 1660–0005), used for all
USFA/NFA courses, does not provide
the sufficient information to select the
most qualified applicants for the
program. FEMA Form 95–22 will
require a brief essay for questions
specific to EFOP functions.
