minimum operational and
deployment standards for existing
missions (high),
• Replace inoperable/broken/
damaged to current standard (high),
• Replace obsolete/non-compliant to
upgraded technology (medium),
• Increase supply for minimum
service requirement due to
community growth (low),
• Obtain equipment for new mission
(low).
The purposes for an applicant’s
request to acquire personal protective
gear have been revised. These new
purposes for FY 2017 are ranked by
priority as follows:
• Replace damaged broken inoperable
equipment to current standard
(high),
• Replace obsolete/non-compliant to
upgrade technology (medium),
• Increase supply for new hires and/
or existing firefighters that do not
have one set of turnout gear (PPE)
or allocated seated positions (high).
Call volume is a consideration, but
only between like departments, i.e.
career, combination, and/or volunteer.
Additional consideration for call
volume can contribute to the
justification of a new risk and/or the
primary first due response area or
region.
Age of equipment terminology
changed from ‘‘medium’’ to
‘‘intermediate.’’ This was done to
avoid confusion within similar name
in other parts of the NOFO, i.e.
(Medium) priority.
Vehicle mounted exhaust systems are
now listed under the equipment
activity.
Fire departments and SFTA will have
separate lists of allowable equipment
that each type of entity may apply for
and acquire with AFG funds.
The following items are now
considered a ‘‘medium’’ priority for
fire department applicants: Props,
simulators, mobile data terminals
(MDT), and computers used in
training and mobile computing
devices used on scene.
EMS training aids with an age
category of ‘‘short’’ (5–7 year life
expectancy) are now eligible expense
for FY 2017 (i.e., CPR mannequins,
airway training equipment, IVs, etc.).
Monitoring and sampling devices are
now categorized as ‘‘Sampling
Devices.’’ This was done to avoid
confusion within similar specialized
monitoring devices, for use in
‘‘medium’’ and ‘‘low’’ priorities.
Tow vehicles are now listed under a
separate chart in the equipment
section to clarify the priority levels
between application types, i.e. fire
department and SFTA.

• Nozzles, appliances, foam inductors
are all high priorities and listed in one
category. These items were combined
and defined with an age category of
‘‘long.’’
Wellness and Fitness Micro Grants
• Wellness and Fitness activities are
now eligible when applying for a
Micro Grant.
• Cancer screening is now available
under the Wellness & Fitness activity.
• All NFPA 1583 training has been
moved to Wellness & Fitness. This
request was previously requested
under ‘‘Training.’’
Vehicles
• Quint apparatus has been added as a
high priority in the Vehicle
Acquisition activity.

The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public to take this
opportunity to comment on a
reinstatement, without change, of a
previously approved information
collection for which approval has
expired. FEMA will submit the
information collection abstracted below
to the Office of Management and Budget
for review and clearance in accordance
with the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The submission
will describe the nature of the
information collection, the categories of
respondents, the estimated burden (i.e.,

the time, effort and resources used by
respondents to respond) and cost, and

FEMA will use.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before March 14, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on the proposed information collection
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget. Comments
should be addressed to the Desk Officer

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) is authorized by the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) administers the NFIP and
maintains the maps that depict flood
hazard information. The land area
covered by the floodwaters of the base
flood is the Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) on NFIP maps. The SFHA is the
area where the NFIP’s floodplain
management regulations must be
enforced and the area where the
mandatory purchase of flood insurance
applies. If a SFHA has been determined
to exist for property and the owner or
lessee of the property believes his/her
property has been incorrectly included
in a SFHA, information can be provided
to support removal of the SFHA
designation. NFIP regulations, at 44 CFR
parts 65 and 70, outline the data that
must be submitted by an owner or lessee
of property who believes his/her
property has been incorrectly included
in a SFHA. In order to remove an area
from a SFHA, the owner or lessee of the
property must submit scientific or
technical data demonstrating that the
area is ‘‘reasonably safe from flooding’’
and not in the SFHA.
This proposed information collection

Register on November 17, 2017 at 82 FR

information collection 1660–0015. This
information collection expired on
September 30, 2017. FEMA is requesting
a reinstatement, without change, of a

notify the public that FEMA will submit
the information collection abstracted
below to the Office of Management and
Budget for review and clearance.

Title: Revisions to National Flood
Insurance Program Maps: Application
Forms and Instructions for (C)LOMAs
and (C)LOMR–Fs.
Type of Information Collection:
Reinstatement, without change, of a
previously approved information
collection for which approval has

Amendments to National Flood
Insurance Program Maps.
Abstract: FEMA collects scientific and
technical data submissions to determine
whether a specific, single-lot property is
located within or outside of a Special
Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). If the
property is determined not to be within
a SFHA, FEMA provides a written
determination and the appropriate map
is modified by a Letter of Map
Amendment (LOMA) or a Letter of Map
Revision—Based on Fill (LOMR–F). The
owner or lessee of a property uses a
LOMA or LOMR–F to show that a
property is not located within the
SFHA, making it possible for the
lending institution to waive the flood
insurance requirement. If the
policyholder decides to maintain
insurance on the property, the new
determination should result in lower
rates.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households; and Business or Other forProfit Institutes.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
121,116.

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.
