FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency has submitted the 
following proposed information collection to the Office of Management 
and Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)).
    OMB Control Number: 3067-0024.
    Title: General Admissions Application and National Fire Academy 
Roster of Course Completion.
    Type of Review: Extension.
    Form Numbers: FEMA Form 75-5, General Admissions Application; FEMA 
Form 75-9, National Fire Academy Roster of Course Completion.
    Abstract: The National Fire Academy (NFA) and Emergency Management 
Institute (EMI) (located at the National Emergency Training Center in 
Emmitsburg, Maryland) use FEMA Form 75-5, General Admissions 
Application, to admit applicants to resident courses and programs 
offered at the NETC. Information from the application form is 
maintained in the Student Record System. The system: (1) Provides a 
consolidated record of all FEMA training taken by a student; (2) 
Identifies or verifies participation in any prerequisite courses; (3) 
Produces a transcript which can be used by the student in requesting 
college credit or continuing education units for courses completed; and 
(4) Determines which students receive stipends to attending NFA 
courses.
    FEMA Form 75-9, National Fire Academy Roster of Course Completion, 
is used by a State and local sponsoring agency to admit applicants to 
NFA off-campus courses. The form is completed by the student at the 
time the class is conducted. The United States Fire Administration/NFA 
has established a strong cooperative partnership with State and local 
fire training systems. This partnership has resulted in the on-going 
development and delivery of a series of courses which constitute the 
NFA's off-campus program curriculum. NFA off-campus courses offer short 
term intensive training designed to provide maximum participation by 
fire service/rescue personnel and allied professionals, who can not 
afford the time required for attending on-campus resident programs, to 
attend training courses within the State and local community.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, Not-for-profit 
institutions, and State, local or tribal governments, and Federal 
Government.
