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 information
required by FEMA to amend or revise
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) Maps to remove certain property
from the 1-percent annual chance
floodplain.
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
1-percent annual chance floodplain in
communities. However, due to scale
limitations, individual structures that
may be above the base flood cannot
always be shown as being out of the
1-percent annual chance floodplain.
FEMA will issue a Letter of Map
Amendment (LOMA) or a Letter of Map
Revision—Based on Fill (LOMR–F) to
waive the Federal requirement for flood
insurance when data is submitted to
E:\FR\FM\25JNN1.SGM
25JNN1

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 121 / Monday, June 25, 2007 / Notices
show that the property or structure is
‘‘reasonably safe from flooding’’ and at
or above the elevation of the base flood.
Requestors can check on the status of
their Letter of Map Amendment
(LOMA), Letter of Map Revision Based
on Fill (LOMR–F), Conditional Letter of
Map Amendment (CLOMA), and
Conditional Letter of Map Revision
Based on Fill (CLOMR–F) request by

Collection of Information
Title: Revisions to National Flood
Insurance Program Maps: Application
Forms and Instructions for (C)LOMAs
and (C)LOMR–Fs.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0015.
Form Numbers: FEMA Forms 81–87,
81–87A, 81–87B.
Abstract: The certification forms
(referred to as MT–1 series forms) are
designed to assist requesters in
gathering information that the FEMA
needs to determine whether a certain
property is likely to be flooded during
a flood event that has a one-percent
annual chance of being equaled or
exceeded in any given year (base flood).
FEMA Form 81–87, Property
Information, describes the location of
the property, what is being requested,
and what data are required to support
the request. FEMA Form 81–87A,
Elevation Information, indicates what
the Base (one-percent annual chance)
Flood Elevation (BFE) for the property
is, how the BFE was determined, the
lowest ground elevation on the
property, and/or the elevation of the
lowest adjacent grade to any structures
on the property. This information is
required in order for FEMA to
determine if the property that the
requester would like removed from the
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) is at
or above the BFE. FEMA Form 81–87B,
Community Acknowledgment, requires
that a community official certify that the
request complies with minimum
floodplain management criteria
specified in 44 CFR 60.3, as per NFIP
regulations 44 CFR 65.5(a)(4).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit
organizations, and state and local or
tribal government.

of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. Comments must be
submitted on or before August 24, 2007.
