insurance available in a community, the
NFIP requires the community to adopt
a floodplain management ordinance that
meets or exceeds the minimum
requirements of the NFIP. Title 44 CFR
61.7 and 61.8 require proper

are being rated under post-FIRM flood
insurance rules. The certificates provide
community officials and others
standardized documents to readily

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA
received two comments from two
commenters, the Association of State
Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) and the
National Flood Determination
Association (NFDA). ASFPM submitted
five suggestions. In Section I; box 2
(description of the collateral) of the
form, it was suggested that FEMA
include a broader list of descriptive
information to assist those using and
reading the form. This has been done. In
Section II; Part C; Box 3 (discussing the
Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA)
and Otherwise Protected Areas (OPA),
the commenter requested that FEMA
clarify the information in this area;
FEMA has made this change. In Section
II; Part D. FEMA has restated the choice
for when flood insurance is not required
by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973 to encourage property owners to
remember there is still a flood risk
outside the Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHA) as requested.

FEMA was not able to make two other
suggested changes, both involved
information that might not be readily
available to the entity that fills out the
form, and in one instance there were
concerns about privacy issues.
The second commenter, NFDA,
requested to see the FEMA planned
changes prior to final publication,
noting that they believe an extension of
the Standard Flood Hazard
Determination Form, SFHDF without
change is acceptable. The changes will
be available to the public when those
changes are published in the Federal
Register.
