Title: Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form. OMB Number: 1660–0040. Abstract: On September 23, 1994, the President signed the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994. Title V of this Act is the National Flood Insurance Reform Act (NFIRA). Section 528 of the NFIRA requires that FEMA develop a standard hazard determination form for recording the determination of whether a structure is located within an identified Special Flood Hazard Area available. Section 528 of the NFIRA also requires the use of this form by regulated lending institutions, Federal agency lending institutions, Federal agency lenders, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the Government National Mortgage Association for any loan made, increased, extended, renewed or purchased by these entities. The form developed to comply with the above requirements is the Standard Flood Hazard Determination form (FEMA Form 83–93, dated October 2002). This form will be completed by federally regulated lending institutions when making, increasing, extending, renewing or purchasing each loan for the purpose of documenting the factors considered as to whether flood insurance is required and available. An estimated 33,000,000 such uses are made each year. This number is entirely driven by the volume of mortgage transactions, of which fluctuations in interest rates is a principal factor. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, Federal Government. Number of Respondents: 33,000,000. Estimated Time per Respondent: 0.33 hours (20 minutes). Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 10,890,000. Frequency of Response: Once.
