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 proposed continuing information collections. In 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice seeks comments concerning the U.S. Fire 
Administration's National Fire Academy Long-term Course Evaluation 
Forms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The data collection from the long-term 
evaluation forms--one for students and one for the student's 
supervisor--will obtain course specific feedback regarding the impact 
of course content on job performance. This data is needed to improve

needed to identify differentials in course impact. The information 
collection also supports the Government Performance and Results Act.
