response may include several module submissions, though majority only NFIRS 1. Same respondent may respond more than once depending on the number of incidents being reported.
2 Based on an estimated total of 10,000,000 incidents reported annually.
Estimated Cost: The wage burden for
collection of information at the local
level including training is estimated at
$113,667.375 for both manual and
electronic submissions (7,583,585 hrs @
$15/hr). The average cost to respondent
per incident reported is $180.00 and
$71.00 for the manual and electronic
submission, respectively.
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

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
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 a proposed new
information collection. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, this notice seeks comments
concerning a survey of property owners
in communities with high densities of
disaster recipients to identify flood
insurance purchasing patterns and
develop strategies to improve overall
compliance with flood insurance
regulations.
SUMMARY:
The 1994
National Flood Insurance Act requires
flood victims in Federally declared
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
disaster areas to purchase flood
insurance as a condition of Federal
financial assistance if their property is
located in a Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA). This flood insurance coverage
must be maintained for the life of a
property loan or if an Individual and
Household Program (IHP) grant is
received, funds to cover the insurance
for three years are deducted from the
grant. Following the three-year, grant
recipients must maintain their
insurance coverage. If these victims do
not comply with these requirements,
they will not be eligible for future
Federal disaster assistance. Flood
insurance compliance among victims of
federally declared flood events appears
to be problematic. FEMA post-disaster
records indicate that a significant
number of flood-damaged structures,
located both in and outside SFHAs,
have either (a) never had flood
insurance, or (b) purchased flood
insurance but did not maintain the
policies.
Collection of Information
Title: Flood Insurance Policy
Acquisition and Retention Among
Recipients of Federal Assistance Study.
Type of Information Collection: New
Collection.
OMB Number: 1660–NW19.
Form Numbers: None.
Abstract: This survey will collect
information on flood insurance
purchasing patterns among property
owners in communities with high
densities of disaster recipients. Data
findings will be used to develop
strategies to improve compliance with
flood insurance regulations.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
