The NFIP
is authorized by Public Law 90–448
(1968) and expanded by Public Law 93–
234 (1973). Pursuant to 44 CFR 59.22,
communities must make application for
eligibility in the program by submitting
the items listed on the prerequisites for
the sale of flood insurance. Section 201
of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973 requires all flood prone
communities throughout the country to
apply for participation one year after
their flood prone identification or
submit to the prohibition of certain
types of Federal and Federally-related
financial assistance for use in their
floodplains. The information collected
on the NFIP Application pertains to two
general categories of information. One is
simple community contact information
such as the name of local officials,
address, phone number, etc., which will
be used for future contact. The second
category of information pertains to
demographic characteristics such as the
number of structures in the community
and the number of structures in the
floodplain. This information is used to
provide basic background information
about the community’s risk to flooding.
