The National Fire Administration has put all of its forms online. These forms will be able to be filled out and electronically submitted in the future.
Burdens for several forms changed. For FF 75-5 there was increase of 750 hours. For form 75-5a there was an increase of 3500 hours. For the automated form 75-5 there was a decrease of 1250 hours. The Student Stipend paper-only forms; 75-3 and 75-3a decreased for a total of 6566 hours. The students only need to provide a copy of a cancelled check and confirm the information already provided on the form by NFA by signing the document. FF95-22 is new and has an increase of 67 hours.
The 75-3 and the 75-3a do not include burden statements becuase the NFA fills out all of the information except the signature blocks.
