AGENCY:
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 a proposed, revised
information collection. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, this notice seeks comments
concerning the Flood Mitigation
Assistance program requirements.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Program was created with the enactment
of the National Flood Insurance Reform
Act of 1994. Section 553 of the Act
authorizes a mitigation assistance
program which FEMA has designated
Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA).
Section 554 establishes the National
Flood Mitigation Fund to provide
assistance under section 553. FMA
regulations implement requirements of
section 553 and 554 of the Act.
FMA was developed to address
concerns regarding repetitively or
substantially damaged structures, or
both, and the associated claims on the
National Flood Insurance Fund. The
overall goal of FMA is to fund flood
damage to buildings, manufactured
homes, and other insurable structures.
The purpose of the planning grants is
to develop or update a Flood Mitigation
Plan that FEMA must approve before
approving a project grant. Native
American tribes or authorized tribal
5355
organizations may submit applications
to the State POC or directly to the FEMA
Regional Director.
The regulations outline a basic
planning process with minimum
standards for the Flood Mitigation
Plans. Existing plans, such as those
credited through the Community Rating
System or those prepared in
conformance with section 322 of the
Stafford Act, as amended by section 104
of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000,
may meet the requirements of FMA with
few or no modifications. The plan
should summarize the planning process,
and should be reviewed periodically by
the community in order to remain a
viable document. Flood Mitigation
Plans must be formally adopted by the
legal entity submitting the plan for
FEMA approval.
Collection of Information
Title: Flood Mitigation Assistance—
Flood Mitigation Plan.
Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0075.
Form Numbers: None.
Abstract: States and communities
must have a FEMA approved flood
mitigation plan before FEMA will award
project grant assistance to a State or
community applicant.
FEMA and the States will use local
community flood mitigation plans to
identify the need to provide technical
assistance to local governments lacking
sufficient resources to complete FMA
grant applications. Secondly, and more
importantly, the local or State
government that develops the plan will
use it to make land use decisions,
implement zoning changes, encourage
smarter development, and implement
projects to reduce the impacts of
flooding on insurable structures.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Government.
