AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 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 revised information
collection. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice seeks comments concerning
Elevation Certificate and the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) requires the elevation or
floodproofing of new or substantially
improved structures in designated
Special Flood Hazard Areas. As part of
the agreement for making flood
insurance available in a community, the
NFIP requires the community to adopt
a floodplain management ordinance that
meets or exceeds the minimum

investigation to estimate the risk
premium rates necessary to provide

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 17, 2008 / Notices
Abstract: The Elevation Certificate
and Floodproofing Certificate are used
in conjunction with the application for
flood insurance. The certificates are
required for proper rating of post Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) structures,
which are buildings constructed after
the publication of the FIRM, for flood
insurance in Special Flood Hazard
Areas. In addition, the Elevation
Certificate is needed for pre-FIRM
structures being rated under post-FIRM
flood insurance rules. The certificates
provide community officials and others
standardized documents to readily
record needed building elevation
information. NFIP policyholders/
applicants provide the appropriate
certificate to insurance agents. The
certificate is then used in conjunction
53885
with the insurance application so that
the building can be properly rated for
flood insurance.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, Business or other for-profit,
State, local or Tribal Government.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 8,245 hours.
