Management Division for copies of the
proposed collection of information at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Fire Academy (NFA) is
mandated under the Fire Prevention and
Control Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–498) to
provide training and education to the
Nation’s fire service and emergency
service personnel. The state of-the-art
programs offered by the NFA serve as
models of excellence and State and local
fire service agencies rely heavily on the
curriculum to train their personnel. To
maintain the quality of these training
programs, it is critical that courses be
evaluated after students have had the
opportunity to apply the knowledge and
skills gained from their training.
Information collected from the
evaluation forms enables the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA) and NFA staff to
monitor and recommend changes in
course materials, individual subject
selection criteria, and to make
curriculum-wide reviews and
assessments. FEMA is seeking a revision
of a currently approved information
collection because we are modifying the
two forms. One question was added to
each form to better reflect and measure
the NFA’s progress toward the USFA’s
goals. Two questions were removed
from the student/trainee form that are
no longer relevant to NFA’s data
collection.

I. Background
President’s Task Force
On April 21, 1997, the President
issued Executive Order 13045,1
establishing the President’s Task Force
on Environmental Health Risks and
Safety Risks to Children. The Task Force
works to identify children’s
environmental health and safety issues,
develops federal interagency strategies
to protect children’s environmental
health and safety, and communicates
information to federal, state, and local
decision makers to protect children
from environmental health risks.2
Among other things, the Task Force is
developing a comprehensive strategy to
further reduce lead exposure in
children’s environments.3 The Task
Force has 11 executive agency members
and 7 Executive Office of the President
agency members.4 Ongoing activities of
the Task Force are managed by its
Senior Staff Steering Committee, cochaired by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and Health and Human
Services (HHS). The Senior Staff
Steering Committee has established five
subcommittees, one of which is the
Lead Subcommittee, which is cochaired by HUD, EPA, and HHS staff.
Lead Reports by the Task Force
In February 2000, the Task Force
published ‘‘Eliminating Childhood Lead
Poisoning: A Federal Strategy Targeting
Lead Paint Hazards.’’ 5 The strategy put
forward a set of recommendations
aimed at eliminating childhood lead
poisoning in the United States as a
major public health problem by the year
2010. It focused primarily on expanding
efforts to correct lead paint hazards
(especially in low-income housing), a
major source of lead exposure for
children. Addressing lead exposures in
the United States, however, requires
consideration of sources of lead
exposure in addition to lead paint,
including, among others, soil, food,
drinking water, and consumer products.
In November 2016, the Task Force
published ‘‘Key Federal Programs to
Reduce Childhood Lead Exposures and
1 The Executive Order was subsequently
published in the Federal Register on April 23,
1997, at 62 FR 19885.

https://ptfceh.niehs.nih.gov.

is available at: https://ptfceh.niehs.nih.gov/

Force’s Web site’s ‘‘About’’ page and is available at:
