Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: There is a decrease of 26 burden hours from the current OMB inventory of 2,093. This difference is a negative adjustment as fewer fire departments are needed to complete the remaining registry database. Since the National Fire Department Registry is a one-time initial registration and this is a continuing collection, fewer fire departments (respondents) are needed to meet the objective of this collection which is to incorporate into the database all 30,000 fire departments nationwide. With the previous collection effort, about 91 percent of the desired respondents are currently registered. The primary continued use of this form is to collect information from the remaining estimated 2,783 fire departments. Follow-up information is also provided from approximately 20 percent of previously registered departments each year on a rotating basis over a five-year period.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $88,866
