    Abstract: FEMA Form 75-10, Request for Housing Accommodations, will 
be used by respondents to request housing accommodations at the NETC

respondents to request to use NETC facilities for extracurricular 
training activities. Extracurricular training is training over and 
above regularly scheduled training sessions of the National Fire 
Academy and Emergency Management Institute. 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

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.
