FEMA
administers the NFIP created by
Congress in 1968 (Pub. L. 90–488 as
amended) in response to mounting
losses due to floods. Unlike federal
disaster assistance, the NFIP does not
rely upon appropriated tax dollars to
pay claims and operating expenses, but
rather it self-supports through
premiums collected from flood
insurance policies. Communities
choosing to participate in the NFIP
adopt and enforce floodplain
management ordinances to reduce
future flood loses in exchange for
federally-backed flood insurance made
available to property owners in those
communities. Based on the correlation
between public awareness and
purchasing of flood insurance, the NFIP,
through the FloodSmart campaign,
educates the public on the risks posed
by floods and the availability of flood
insurance to property owners in
participating communities.

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on a proposed new
information collection. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of

Title: Flood Awareness, Attitude and
Usage Study.
Type of Information Collection: New
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–NEW7.
Abstract: The Flood Awareness,
Attitude and Usage Survey is the
evaluative tool of the NFIP’s FloodSmart
marketing campaign. The study assesses
the overall impact of the campaign
elements (i.e. advertising recall, media
exposure, etc.) on property owners’
perceptions and flood insurance. Data
findings are combined with additional
program data to measure the sale and
retention of flood insurance policies in
meeting the program’s goal of a 5
percent net growth annually. Findings
will be used primarily to plan for the
subsequent 2005 campaign, and will be
combined with additional program
metrics for further performance
evaluation.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Total Annual Burden

of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,

Federal Emergency

ACTION: Notice of Cooperating Technical
Partners Flood Hazard Mapping
Program.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: FEMA gives notice of the
requirements for the Cooperating
Technical Partners Program for Fiscal
Year (FY) 2005.
DATES: FEMA has an estimated $50
million available nationwide for
funding partner projects in FY 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
FEMA Regional Cooperating Technical
Partner (CTP) Coordinators for your
region. We list names, addresses, and
telephone numbers for the Regional CTP
Coordinators at the end of this Notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. FEMA administers the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) and, under the authority of
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
section 1360 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4101)
establishes and updates flood-risk zone
data in floodplain areas. In the
identification of floodprone areas, we
may consult with, receive information
from and enter into agreements or other
arrangements with the head of any
State, regional, or local agency in order
to identify these floodprone areas.
We are implementing the Cooperating
Technical Partners (CTP) program as
part of our Flood Map Modernization
Program. The plan document for our
Map Modernization Program and
progress reports concerning the Program
are available at https://www.fema.gov/
fhm/dl_mpmod.shtm. The program
formally recognizes and encourages the
contributions that our Flood Hazard
Mapping Partners (State agencies,
regional agencies, tribal governments,
and communities) make in developing
timely and accurate flood hazard
information. We strongly encourage
partner contributions to flood hazard
data development, which are a key part
of the program.
Establishing formal partnerships with
State, regional, and local organizations
to produce NFIP maps is beneficial for
the following reasons:
• The data used for local permitting
and planning will also be the basis for
the NFIP map, facilitating more efficient
floodplain management;
• The CTP program provides the
opportunity to interject a tailored, local
focus into a national program; thus,
where unique conditions may exist, we
