52898
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 179 / Monday, September 17, 2007 / Notices
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
continuing information collection. In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks
comments concerning the adequacy of
two forms FEMA uses to gather certain
information about the floodplain
management activities of communities
that participate in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). The forms
are used to gather information about a
community’s floodplain management
regulations, administrative and
enforcement procedures, flood
insurance studies, and basic information
pertaining to names, addresses, and
phone numbers of individuals
responsible for a community’s
floodplain management program.
The
information gathered on the subject
forms pertain to a community’s
participation in the NFIP. The NFIP was
established by the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968 (the Act). Section
1315 of the Act requires the adoption of
permanent land use and control
measures which are consistent with the
comprehensive criteria of land
management and use under section
1361. In 44 CFR 59.24 requirements are
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
established for the continued eligibility
to participate in the NFIP based upon
implementing an adequate community
based floodplain management program.
The information gathered with the
forms is used to evaluate the adequacy
of a community’s floodplain
management program as it relates to
continued participation in the NFIP.

Type of Information Collection:
Revision of currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0023.
Form Numbers: Form 81–68
(Community Assistance Report); Form
81–69 (Community Contact Report).
Abstract: The forms that are the
subject of this OMB review, the
‘‘Community Contact Report’’ (FF 81–
68) and the ‘‘Community Visit Report’’
(FF 81–69) are the documents used to
record the information gathered during
CACs and CAVs. The data obtained
from the Community Assistance Contact
(CAC) and Community Assistance Visit
(CAV) forms information collection
effort is used to assist with the
management of the NFIP. A major
Number of respondents

Data collection activity/instrument
objective of the NFIP is to assure that
participating communities are achieving
the flood loss reduction objectives of the
program. To achieve this objective,
FEMA’s Mitigation Directorate
implemented a process to evaluate the
floodplain management assistance
needed by communities and how well
communities are implementing their
floodplain management programs. By
determining the assistance needed and
how well communities are performing
their responsibilities, FEMA can
identify, prevent, and resolve floodplain
management issues before problems
arise that require enforcement actions.
The two key methods FEMA uses in
determining community assistance
needs are through the CAC and CAV,
which serve to provide a systematic
means of monitoring community NFIP
compliance. Through the CAC and CAV,
FEMA can also determine to what
extent communities are achieving the
flood loss reduction objectives of the
NFIP. By providing assistance to
communities, the CAC and CAV also
serve to enhance FEMA’s goals of
reducing future flood losses, thereby
achieving the cost-containment
objectives of the NFIP.
Affected Public: Federal, State, Local,
or Tribal Governments.
