Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
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 information
collections. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice seeks
comments concerning information
required by FEMA to amend or revise
National Flood Insurance Program Maps
to remove certain property from the 1percent annual chance floodplain.
With the
passage of the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, an owner of a structure,
with a federally backed mortgage,
located in the 1-percent annual chance
floodplain, was required to purchase
federal flood insurance. This was in
response to the escalating damage
caused by flooding and the
unavailability of flood insurance from
commercial insurance companies. As
part of this effort, FEMA mapped the 1percent annual chance floodplain in
communities. However, due to scale
limitations, individual structures that
may be above the base flood cannot
always be shown as being out of the 1percent annual chance floodplain.
FEMA will issue a Letter of Map
Amendment (LOMA) or a Letter of Map
Revision—Based on Fill (LOMR–F) to
waive the Federal requirement for flood
insurance when data is submitted to
show that the property or structure is
‘‘reasonably safe from flooding’’ and at
or above the elevation of the base flood.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
Collection of Information
Title: Right to Submit Technical or
Scientific Data to Correct Mapping
Deficiencies.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0015.
Form Numbers: FEMA Forms 81–87,
81–87A, 81–87B.
Abstract: The certification forms
(referred to as MT–1 series forms) are
designed to assist requesters in
gathering information that FEMA needs
to determine whether a certain property
is likely to be flooded during the flood
event that has a 1-percent annual
chance of being equaled or exceeded in
any given year (base flood). FEMA Form
81–87, Property Information, describes
the location of the property, what is
being requested, and what data are
required to support the request. FEMA
Form 81–87A, Elevation Information,
indicates what the Base (1-percent
annual chance) Flood Elevation (BFE)
for the property is, how the BFE was
determined, the lowest ground elevation
on the property, and/or the elevation of
the lowest adjacent grade to any
structures on the property. This
information is required in order for
FEMA to determine if the property that
the requester would like removed from
the SFHA FEMA Form 81–87B,
Community Acknowledgment, requires
that a community official certify that the
request complies with minimum
floodplain management criteria
specified in 44 CFR 60.3, as per NFIP
regulations 44 CFR 65.5(a)(4).

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 information
FEMA Form 81–89, Overview and
Concurrence Form, describes the
location of the request, what is being
requested, and what data are required to
support the request. In addition, NFIP
regulations 44 CFR 65.5(a)(4) require
that a community official certify that the
request complies with minimum
floodplain management criteria
specified in 44 CFR 60.3. This form
ensures that this requirement is fulfilled
prior to the submittal of the request to
FEMA. FEMA Form 81–89A, Riverine
Hydrology and Hydraulics Form, allows
FEMA to efficiently review assumptions
made, parameters used, and the results
of hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
performed in support of a revision
request. It also addresses more common
regulatory issues; FEMA Form 81–89B,
Riverine Structures Form, allows FEMA
to efficiently review assumptions made,
parameters used, and the results of
revision requests involving new or
modified structures in riverine flood
hazard areas; FEMA Form 81–89C,
Coastal Analysis Form, allows FEMA to
efficiently review assumptions made,
parameters used, and the results of
coastal analyses performed in support of
a revision request. It also addresses
more common regulatory issues; FEMA
Form 81–89D, Coastal Structures Form,
allows FEMA to efficiently review
assumptions made, parameters used,
and the results of revision requests
involving new or modified structures in
coastal flood hazard areas; FEMA Form
81–89E, Alluvial Fan Flooding Form,
allows FEMA to efficiently review
assumptions made, parameters used,
and the results of alluvial fan flooding
analyses performed in support of a
revision request.
