SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Commission on Fire
Prevention and Control conducted a
comprehensive study of the Nation’s fire
problem and recommended to Congress
actions to mitigate the fire problem,
reduce loss of life and property, and
educate the public on fire protection
and prevention. As a result of the study,
Congress enacted Public Law 93–498,
Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act
of 1974, which establishes the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA) to administer
fire prevention and control programs,
supplement existing programs of
research, training, and education, and
encourage new and improved programs
and activities by state and local
governments. Section 9(a) of the Act
authorizes the USFA Administrator to
operate directly or through contracts or
grants an integrated, comprehensive

method to select, analyze, publish, and
disseminate information related to
prevention, occurrence, control, and
results of fires of all types. The National
Fire Incident Reporting Systems
(NFIRS) was established in the mid1970s and is mandated by the Federal
Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974
which authorizes the National Fire Data
Center to gather and analyze
information such as (1) the frequency,
causes, spread, and extinguishment of
fires; (2) injuries and deaths resulting
from fires; (3) information on injuries
sustained by a firefighter; and (4)
information on firefighting activities.
The act further authorizes USFA to
develop uniform data reporting
methods, and to encourage and assist
Federal, state, local and other agencies
in developing and reporting
information. NFIRS is a reporting
standard that fire departments use to
uniformly report on the full range of
their activities, from fire to emergency
medical services to severe weather and
natural disasters. This reporting allows
fire departments, as well as many other
government and non-government
agencies, to quantify their actions and
identify incident and response trends.
Recent modernization to the data
collection improved and therefore
reduced the burden hours for reporting
data to NFIRS. FEMA is requesting a
revision of this information collection.

This
collection is in accordance with
Executive Orders 12862 and 13571
requiring all Federal agencies to survey
customers to determine the kind and
quality of services they want and their
level of satisfaction with existing
services. The Government Performance
and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) requires
Federal agencies to set missions and
goals and to measure agency
performance against them. See Public
Law 103–62, 107 Stat 285 (1993). The
GPRA Modernization Act of 2010
requires quarterly performance
assessments of government programs for
the purposes of assessing agency
performance and improvement. See
Public Law 111–352, 124 Stat 3875
(2011). FEMA fulfills these
requirements by collecting customer
satisfaction program information
through surveys of States, Local and
Tribal governments, and eligible nonprofit organizations.
