health care settings.
Post-Nursing Master’s Certificate
Program means a formal, post-graduate

learning experience in which the
student is assigned to a faculty member
or with oversight by program faculty to
a designated preceptor who is a nurse
practitioner or nurse-midwife or other

preceptorship provides the student with
practice experiences conducive to
meeting the defined goals and objectives
of the particular clinical course. The
preceptor is responsible for the daily
teaching and assignment of individuals
to be cared for, supervision, and
participation in the evaluation of the
nurse practitioner or nurse-midwifery
student. The preceptor teaches,
supervises, and evaluates the student
and provides the student with an

family and communities. Critical
elements also include accountability of
clinicians and systems for quality of
care, consumer satisfaction, efficient use
of resources, and ethical behavior.
Clients have direct access to an
appropriate source of care, which
continues over time for a variety of
problems and includes needs for
preventive services. The Guidelines use
‘‘Primary Care’’ and ‘‘Primary Health
Care’’ interchangeably. (Definition

Federal Emergency Management
Agency
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Emergency
Preparedness and Response Directorate,
U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
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 the continuation of an
information collection requirement. In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice seeks
comments concerning the information
collection outlined in 44 CFR part 71, as
it pertains to application for National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
insurance for buildings located in
Coastal Barrier Resource System (CBRS)
communities.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA
Pub. L. 97–3480) and the Coastal Barrier
Improvement Act (CBRA Pub. L. 101–
591) are federal laws that were enacted
on October 1, 1982, and November 16,
1990, respectively. The legislation was
implemented as part of a Department of
the Interior (DOI) initiative to preserve
the ecological integrity of areas DOI
designates as coastal barriers and
otherwise protected areas. The laws
provide this protection by prohibiting
all federal expenditures or financial
assistance including flood insurance for
residential or commercial development
in areas identified with the system.
When an application for flood insurance
is submitted for buildings located in
CBRS communities, documentation
must be submitted as evidence of
eligibility.
FEMA Regulation 44 CFR part 71
implements the CFRA. The information
E:\FR\FM\23FEN1.SGM
23FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 23, 2005 / Notices
collection requirement is set forth in the
FEMA regulation, and the information
provided by the affected public is used
by FEMA to determine that a building,
which is located on a designated coastal
barrier and for which an application for
flood insurance is being made, is neither
new construction nor a substantial
improvement, and is, therefore, eligible
for NFIP coverage. If the information is
not collected, NFIP policies would be
provided for buildings, which are
legally ineligible for it, thus exposing
the Federal Government to an insurance
liability Congress chose to limit.
Collection of Information
Title: Implementation of Coastal
Barrier Resources Act.
Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0010.
Abstract: When an application for
flood insurance is submitted for
buildings located in CBRS communities,
one of the following types of
documentation must be submitted as
evidence of eligibility:
—Certification from a community
official stating the building is not
located in a designated CBRS area.
—A legally valid building permit or
certification from a community
official stating that the building’s start
of construction date preceded the date
that the community was identified in
the system.
—Certification from the governmental
body overseeing the area indicating
that the building is used in a manner
consistent with the purpose for which
the area is protected.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit;
Not-for-profit institutions; Farms;
Federal Government; and State, Local or
Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 60.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Hours per Response: 1.5.
Estimated Total Cost to Respondents:
$600 (60 respondents × $10 per
respondent). The cost to the respondent,
i.e., applicant for flood insurance, is the
cost, if any, to obtain the required
documentation from local officials. Fees
charged, if any, to the applicants, are
nominal, i.e., the cost of photocopying
the public record. Information of this
type is frequently provided upon
request free of charge by the community
as a public service. The average cost to
the respondent is estimated to be $10,
the cost to make phone calls, mail a
written request, or make a trip to a local
office to obtain the document, and
includes any copying fees, which may
be charged by the local office.

COMMENTS: Written comments are
solicited to (a) evaluate whether the
proposed data collection is necessary for
the proper performance of the agency,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. Comments should be
received within 60 days of the date of
this notice.
