Short Statement: FEMA Form 119-25-0-1 has an increase in the number of respondents from 25,000 to 52,000 (+27,000) because FEMA is replacing the existing General Admissions Application (FEMA Form 119-25-1) and General Admissions Application Short Form (FEMA Form 119-25-2) forms with a single FEMA-wide form which will be submitted as a paper version or using an on-line application process. There was also an adjustment increase from 3,750 hours to 7,800 (+4,050) hours. The FEMA Form 119-25-0-6 (General Admissions Application Short Form Scannable Version) has been created for those courses where less information is required from the respondent. It is expected that 154,500 respondents will used this form requiring 15,450 burden hours. The FEMA Form 119-25-2 (reduction of 80,000 respondents and 8,000 burden hours) is being eliminated and being replaced by the FEMA Form 119-25-0-1.
