NFIRS provides a mechanism using standardized reporting methods to collect and analyze fire incident data at the Federal, State, and local levels. Data analysis helps local fire departments and States to focus on current problems, predict future problems in their communities, and measure whether their programs are working.

Cutting Redundancy
The total decrease of 873,680 in burden hours and increase of $92,071,424 in respondent costs from the last renewal resulted from both program changes and from adjustments. The program changes resulted from USFA no longer collecting information associated with NFIC Training Workshop and NFIRS CD / On-site Training. Further, FEMA removed the hourly burden and associated costs for the NFIRS Program Management Training, NFIRS Program Management Orientation, and Introduction to NFIRS Distance Learning. These three items are accounted for in information collection 1660-0039, National Fire Academy Long-Term Evaluation Form for Supervisors and National Fire Academy Long-Term Evaluation Form for Students/Trainees. The adjustments resulted from the number of respondents changing. Specifically, respondents to NFIRS Version 5.0 Modules 1 through 11 increased by 500 from 23,000 to 23,500 since the last renewal. This increase in number of respondents was bolstered by the increase in wages of $9.54 per hour. There were no changes in the number of responses per respondent. Note - Per the Program Office, I removed a lot of old IC documents that were shifted away from this collection. They were old training documents to help represent the actual instrument, NFIRS 5.0. The remaining documents are the core training documents. Also readjusted the burden hours completely to the electronic instrument because NFIRS 5.0 is completely electronic. The annual cost burden is still very high (compare to Supporting Statement) but I'm not sure where I correct that. - Kevin
