The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) codified at 42 U.S.C. 4001, et
seq., requires all flood prone
communities throughout the country to
apply for participation in the NFIP 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.
Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) section 59.2 authorizes that
previously unavailable flood insurance
protection to property owners in floodprone areas is now available, and 44
CFR 59.22 identifies the information
that communities are required to submit
to FEMA for application into the
program. Title 44 CFR section 59.22 and

Collection of Information
Title: Application for Participation in
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0004.
Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA
Form 086–0–30, Application for
Participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program.
Abstract: The National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) provides
flood insurance to the communities that
apply for participation and make a
commitment to adopt and enforce land
use control measures that are to protect
development from future flood damages.
The application form and supporting
documentation will enable FEMA to
continue to rapidly process new
community applications and to thereby
more quickly provide flood insurance
protection to the residents in
communities.
This collection has been updated to
account for the burden hours associated
with the community development
permit process. To qualify for the NFIP,
a participating community must adopt
certain minimum standards in
accordance with FEMA’s regulations at
44 CFR 60.3, 60.4, and 60.5. In order to
verify whether communities maintain
such standards, the NFIP requires
participating communities to retain
documentation on development taking
place in the flood hazard areas within
the community. 44 CFR 59.22. Such
information will be made available to
FEMA upon request. This information
assists FEMA to evaluate the
effectiveness of a community’s
floodplain management program and
participating property owners’
eligibility for flood insurance. In the
past the NFIP application did not
account for burden hours associated
with this collection of information.
The Application for Participation in
the NFIP and the Community
Development Permit Process are
separate actions documented under the
same collection.
Affected Public: State, local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 20,344.
Number of Responses: 88,306.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 221,121 hours.

This notice lists communities
where the addition or modification of
Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood
depths, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundaries or zone
designations, or the regulatory floodway
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports,
prepared by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) for each
community, is appropriate because of
new scientific or technical data. The
FIRM, and where applicable, portions of
the FIS report, have been revised to
reflect these flood hazard
determinations through issuance of a
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in
accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR
Part 65). The LOMR will be used by
insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings and the contents
of those buildings. For rating purposes,
the currently effective community
number is shown in the table below and
must be used for all new policies and
renewals.
SUMMARY:
These flood hazard
determinations will become effective on
the dates listed in the table below and
revise the FIRM panels and FIS report
in effect prior to this determination for
the listed communities.
From the date of the second
publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local
circulation, any person has ninety (90)
days in which to request through the
community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Mitigation reconsider
the changes. The flood hazard
determination information may be
changed during the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: The affected communities
are listed in the table below. Revised
flood hazard information for each
community is available for inspection at
both the online location and the
respective community map repository
address listed in the table below.

communities throughout the country to apply for participation in the
NFIP one year after their flood prone identification or submit to the

Collection of Information
Title: Application for Participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP).
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660-0004.
Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form 086-0-30, Application for
Participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
Abstract: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) provides
flood insurance to the communities that apply for participation and
make a commitment to adopt and enforce land use control measures that
are to protect development from future flood damages. The application
form and supporting documentation will enable FEMA to continue to
rapidly process new community applications and to thereby more quickly
provide flood insurance protection to the residents in communities.
This collection has been updated to account for the burden hours
associated with the community development permit process. To qualify
for the NFIP, a participating community must adopt certain minimum
standards in accordance with FEMA's regulations at 44 CFR 60.3, 60.4,
and 60.5. In order to verify whether communities maintain such
standards, the NFIP requires participating communities to retain
documentation on development taking place in the flood hazard areas
within the community. 44 CFR 59.22. Such information will be made
available to FEMA upon request. This information assists FEMA to
evaluate the effectiveness of a community's floodplain management
program and participating property owners' eligibility for flood
insurance. In the past the NFIP application did not account for burden
hours associated with this collection of information.
The Application for Participation in the NFIP and the Community
Development Permit Process are separate actions documented under the
same collection.
Affected Public: State, local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 20,344.
Number of Responses: 88,306.
