AGENCY:
Notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
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 proposed continuing
information collections. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this
notice seeks comments concerning the
renewal of FEMA’s National Flood
Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Biennial
Report forms (FEMA Form 81–28,
FEMA Form 81–29, FEMA Form 81–
29A). Under 44 CFR 59.22(b)(2), the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) requires that communities
participating in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) submit an
annual or biennial report describing the
progress made during the year in the
implementation and enforcement of
floodplain management regulations.
Currently, FEMA has determined that
this data will be collected on a biennial
reporting cycle and the data collection
is now referred to as the Biennial
Report.

Under 44
CFR 59.22(b)(2), the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) requires
that communities participating in the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) submit an annual or biennial
report describing the progress made
during the year in the implementation
and enforcement of floodplain
management regulations. Currently,
FEMA has determined that this data
will be collected on a biennial reporting
cycle and the data collection is now
referred to as the Biennial Report. As a
supplement to the Biennial Report,
FEMA has been mandated under
Section 575 of the National Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (NFIRA)
to assess the need to revise and update
all floodplain areas and flood risk zones
identified, delineated, or established
under section 1360 of the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968.
The NFIP Biennial Report enables
FEMA to meet its regulatory
requirement under 59.22(b)(2). It also
enables FEMA to be more responsive to
the on-going changes that occur in each
participating community’s flood hazard
area. These changes include, but are not
limited to, new corporate boundaries,
changes in flood hazard areas, new
floodplain management measures, and
changes in rate of floodplain
development. It is also used to evaluate
the effectiveness of the community’s
floodplain management activities. The
evaluation is accomplished by analyzing
information provided by the
community, such as the number of
variances and floodplain permits
granted by each community in
relationship to other information
contained in the Biennial Report, as
well as other data available in FEMA’s
Community Information System (CIS).
The Biennial Report also provides an
opportunity for NFIP participating
communities to request technical
assistance in implementing a floodplain
management program. FEMA regional
offices use this information as a means
to know which communities need
support and guidance. In addition, the

NFIP Biennial Report is one of the tools
used to assist FEMA in meeting its
regulatory requirement under Section
575 of the NFIRA. A ‘‘yes’’ answer to
Items A–D in Section I of the report will
provide the basis for FEMA to follow-up
by contacting the community for
clarification and/or elaboration
regarding changes and activities
occurring in a community’s flood
hazard area. This information will be
used in ranking and prioritizing one
community’s mapping needs against all
other communities in the NFIP and for
determining how the limited flood
hazard mapping funds are allocated for
map updates.
