continuing effort to reduce paperwork

general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on a revised information
collection. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice seeks comments concerning the
use of a form to collect data for the
development and continuation of the
National Fire Department Census
database.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public
Law 93–498 provides for the gathering
and analyzing of data as deemed useful
and applicable for fire departments. The
U.S. Fire Administration (USFA)
receives many requests from fire service
organizations and the general public for
information related to fire departments,
including total number of departments,
number of stations per department,
population protected, and number of
firefighters. The USFA also has a need
for this information to guide
programmatic decisions, and produce
mailing lists for USFA publications.
Recommendations for the creation of the
fire department database came out of a
Blue Ribbon Panel’s review of the
USFA. The report included a review of
the structure, mission and funding of
the USFA, future policies, programmatic
needs, course development and
delivery, and the role of the USFA to
reflect changes in the fire service. As a
result of those recommendations, the
USFA is working to identify all fire
departments in the United States to
develop a database that will include
information related to demographics,
capabilities, and activities of fire
departments Nationwide. In the first
year of this effort, information was
collected from 16,000 fire departments.
Since the first year of the collection, an
additional 10,000 departments have
registered.
