FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 extension of a collection of information. In 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice seeks comments on two forms used by FEMA's 
National Emergency Training Center (NETC) to approve and coordinate the 
use of the NETC facility for extracurricular training activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NETC is a FEMA facility that houses the 
Emergency Management Institute and the National Fire Academy. It 
provides training and education programs for Federal, State, and local 
personnel in hazard mitigation, emergency response and preparedness, 
fire prevention and control, disaster response, and long-term disaster 
recovery. Special groups sponsored by the EMI, NFA, or other FEMA 
organizations may use NETC facilities to conduct activities closely 
related to and in direct support of the their activities. Such groups 
include other Federal departments and agencies, groups chartered by 
Congress such as the American Red Cross, State and local governments, 
volunteer groups and national and international associations 
representing State and local governments.

Collection of Information

    Title. Approval and Coordination of Requirements to Use the NETC 
for Extracurricular Training Activities.
    Type of Information Collection. Extension.
    OMB Number: 3067-0219.
    Form Numbers. FEMA Form 75-10, Request for Housing Accommodations; 
and FEMA Form 75-11, Request for Use of NETC Facilities.
    Abstract. Data will be obtained from special groups that request to 
use NETC facilities for extracurricular training activities. 
Extracurricular training is training over and above regularly scheduled 
training sessions of NFA and EMI. The policy of the NETC is to 
accommodate other training activities on a space available basis at the 
Emmitsburg campus. In order for NETC to approve and schedule the use of 
its facilities, information must be provided by special group 
organizations. A written or telephone request for use of NETC 
facilities is initially made to determine availability of the 
facilities. If space is available, the contact person for the special 
group must follow up by completing FEMA Form 75-11 to provide 
information on the number of participants, meals, and special 
requirements. The information is used to assign classrooms, schedule 
equipment, and arrange for food service.
