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 revise National
Flood Insurance Program Maps.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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, the 1-percent
annual chance floodplain may change
due to changes within the floodplain, or
may be more accurately depicted
through the use of more up-to-date
methods and data. FEMA will issue a
Letter of Map Revision to officially
revise the 1-percent annual chance
floodplain.

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.
