Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), 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 information
collection outlined in 44 CFR part 61, as
it pertains to application for National
Flood Insurance Program insurance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) is authorized by Public Law 90–
448 (1968) and expanded by Public Law
93–234 (1973). The National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968 requires that
FEMA provides flood insurance at full
actuarial rates reflecting the complete
flood risk to structures built or
substantially improved on or after the
effective date for the initial Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the
community, or after December 31, 1974,
whichever is later, so that the risks
associated with buildings in flood-prone
areas are borne by those located in such
areas and not by the taxpayers at large.
In accordance with Public Law 93–234,
the purchase of flood insurance is
mandatory when Federal or federally
related financial assistance is being
provided for acquisition or construction
of buildings located, or to be located,
within FEMA-identified special flood
hazard areas of communities that are
participating in the NFIP. When flood
damage occurs to insured property,
information is collected to report,
investigate, negotiate and settle the
claim.
Collection of Information
Title: National Flood Insurance
Program Claims Forms.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.

policies for flood damage to their
insured property or qualification for
benefits under Increased Cost of
