(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 status is
identified or submit to the prohibition
of certain types of federal and federallyrelated financial assistance for use in
their floodplains. Title 44 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) section 59.2
authorizes previously unavailable flood
insurance protection to property owners
in flood-prone areas, and 44 CFR 59.22
identifies the information that
communities are required to submit to
FEMA for application into the NFIP. 44
CFR 59.22 and 59.24 identify the
information a community is required to
submit to FEMA for continued
participation in the program.
This information collection expired
on September 30, 2017. FEMA is
requesting a reinstatement, without

information collection for which

Abstract: The National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) provides
flood insurance to the communities that
apply for participation and make a
commitment to protect against 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.
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 in evaluating the
effectiveness of a community’s
floodplain management program and
participating property owners’
eligibility for flood insurance.
This reinstatement does not propose
any change in the information solicited
from respondents through this
information collection; however, the
number of burden hours has been
updated to reflect changing number of
respondents and responses received
through this collection over time. These
changes have occurred naturally, and do
not result from specific action taken by
FEMA.
The ‘‘Application for Participation in
the NFIP’’ and the ‘‘NFIP and the
Community Development Permit
Process’’ are separate actions
documented under the same collection.
Affected Public: State, local or Tribal
government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
22,367.
Estimated Number of Responses:
97,724.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 244,418.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost: $20,946,623.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to the
Federal Government: $ 83,041.
Comments
Comments may be submitted as
indicated in the ADDRESSES caption
above. Comments are solicited to (a)
evaluate whether the proposed data
collection is necessary for the proper
performance of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the

burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
