ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has submitted 
the following information collection to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 
35). The submission describes the nature of the information collection, 
the category of respondents, the estimated burden (i.e., the time, 
effort and resources used by respondents to respond) and cost, and 
includes the actual data collection instruments FEMA will use.
    Title: National Fire Academy Course Evaluation Form.
    Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved 
collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-0032.
    Abstract: The National Fire Academy Course Evaluation Form is used 
to monitor the effectiveness of course materials, the training 
facilities and instructor delivery. Information collected with the form 
enables NFA staff to monitor and recommend changes in course materials, 
subject selection criteria, the training experience and the classroom 
environment. From the processed data, reports are generated and 
distributed to management and staff. Without such information, it would 
be difficult to determine the need for improvements and the degree of 
student satisfaction with the course experience.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 5,800.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,450.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and annually.
    Comments: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments 
on the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs at OMB, Attention: Desk Officer for the Department 
of Homeland Security/FEMA at e-mail address [email protected] or 
facsimile number (202) 395-7285. Comments must be submitted on or 
before March 18, 2004. In addition, interested persons may also send
