Agency
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
AGENCY:
Notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
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 information
required by FEMA to revise National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Maps.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With the
passage of the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, an owner of a structure,
with a federally backed mortgage,
located in the 1-percent annual chance
floodplain, was required to purchase
federal flood insurance. This was in
response to the escalating damage
caused by flooding and the
unavailability of flood insurance from
commercial insurance companies. As
part of this effort, FEMA mapped the 1percent annual chance floodplain in
communities. However, the 1-percent
annual chance floodplain may change
due to changes within the floodplain, or
may be more accurately depicted
through the use of more up-to-date
methods and data. FEMA will issue a
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to
officially revise the 1-percent annual
chance floodplain.
Collection of Information
Title: Revision to National Flood
Insurance Program Maps: Application
Forms for LOMRs and Conditional
LOMRs.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0016.
Form Numbers: FEMA Forms 81–89,
81–89A, 81–89B, 81–89C, 81–89D, 81–
89E.
Abstract: The certification forms
(referred to as MT–2 series forms) are
designed to assist requesters in
gathering information that FEMA needs
to revise a NFIP map. FEMA Form 81–
89, Overview and Concurrence Form,
describes the location of the request,
what is being requested, and what data
are required to support the request. In
addition, NFIP regulations 44 CFR
65.5(a)(4) require that a community
official certify that the request complies
with minimum floodplain management
criteria specified in 44 CFR 60.3. This
form ensures that this requirement is
fulfilled prior to the submittal of the
request to FEMA. FEMA Form 81–89A,
Riverine Hydrology and Hydraulics
Form, allows FEMA to efficiently
review assumptions made, parameters
used, and the results of hydrologic and
hydraulic analyses performed in
support of a revision request. It also
addresses more common regulatory
issues; FEMA Form 81–89B, Riverine
Structures Form, allows FEMA to
efficiently review assumptions made,
parameters used, and the results of
revision requests involving new or
modified structures in riverine flood
hazard areas; FEMA Form 81–89C,
Coastal Analysis Form, allows FEMA to
efficiently review assumptions made,
parameters used, and the results of
coastal analyses performed in support of
a revision request. It also addresses
more common regulatory issues; FEMA
Form 81–89D, Coastal Structures Form,
allows FEMA to efficiently review
assumptions made, parameters used,
and the results of revision requests
involving new or modified structures in
coastal flood hazard areas; FEMA Form
81–89E, Alluvial Fan Flooding Form,
allows FEMA to efficiently review
assumptions made, parameters used,
and the results of alluvial fan flooding
analyses performed in support of a
revision request.
Affected Public: Business and other
for profit organization such as Land
Surveyors or Engineering firms will
primarily be affected by the collection.
In addition, home owners, local or state
officials may also be affected in some
instances.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 24,360.
