Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 14 / Tuesday, January 23, 2007 / Notices
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on a proposed continuing
information collection. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, this notice seeks comments
concerning the certification of flood
proof residential basements in Special
Flood Hazard Areas.
The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP), administered by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), regulation 44 CFR 60.3,
Floodplain Management Criteria for
Flood-Prone Areas, ensures that
buildings in communities participating
in the NFIP, in Special Flood Hazard
Areas (SFHAs), have their lowest floor
elevations including basement at or
above the Base Flood Elevation (the 100year flood elevation). This requirement
reduces the risks of flood hazards to
new buildings in SFHAs and reduces
insurance rates. However, FEMA
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
regulation 44 CFR 60.6(c) allows
communities to apply for an exception
to permit and certify the construction of
floodproofed residential basements in
SFHAs. The certification must ensure
that the community has demonstrated
that that areas of special flood hazard,
in which residential basements will be
permitted, are subject to shallow and
low velocity flooding and that there is
adequate flood warning time to notify
residents of impending flood. This
certification allows the community to
ensure that local floodplain
management ordinances are met and
allows property owners to receive a
‘‘discounted’’ flood insurance rate
applicable to residential buildings with
floodproofed basements.
Collection of Information
Title: Residential Basement
Floodproofing Certificate.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0033.
Form Numbers: FEMA Form 81–78.
Abstract: FEMA Form 81–78 is only
used in communities that have been
granted an exception by FEMA to allow
the construction of flood proof
residential basements in Special Flood
Hazard Areas, (SFHAs). Homeowners
must have a registered professional
engineer or architect complete FEMA
Form 81–78 for development or
inspection of a properly designed and
constructed basement and certify that
the basement design and methods of
constructions are in accordance with
floodplain management ordinances. In
any case homeowners are responsible
for the fees involved with these services.
Homeowners also provide FEMA Form
81–8 to the insurance agent to receive
discounted flood insurance under the
NFIP.
Affected Public: Individuals of
Households and Business or other forprofit.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 487.5 hours.
