Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2018 / Notices
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget. Comments
should be addressed to the Desk Officer
for the Department of Homeland
Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, and sent via
electronic mail to dhsdeskofficer@
omb.eop.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
should be made to Senior Director,
Information Management Division, 500
C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,

or Brian Koper, Emergency Management
Specialist, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, DHS/FEMA,

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. In 44 CFR 65.3,
communities are required to submit
technical information concerning flood
hazards and plans to avoid potential
flood hazards when physical changes
occur. In 44 CFR 65.4, communities are
provided the right to submit technical
information when inconsistencies on
maps are identified. In order to revise
the Base (l-percent annual chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs), Special Flood
Hazard Areas (SFHAs), and floodways
presented on the NFIP maps, a
community must submit scientific or
technical data demonstrating the need
for a revision. The NFIP regulations
cited in 44 CFR part 65 outline the data
that must be submitted for these
requests. This collection serves to
provide a standard format for the
general information requirements
outlined in the NFIP regulations, and
helps establish an organized package of
the data needed to revise NFIP maps.
This information collection expired on
May 31, 2017. FEMA is requesting a
reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved information
collection for which approval has
expired.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on December 29, 2017 at 82 FR
61787 with a 60 day public comment
period. No comments were received.
The purpose of this notice is to notify
the public that FEMA will submit the
information collection abstracted below

Collection of Information
Title: Revision to National Flood
Insurance Program Maps: Application
Forms and Instructions for LOMRs and
CLOMRs.
Type of Information Collection:
Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved collection for
which approval has expired.
OMB Number: 1660–0016.
Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA
Form 086–0–27, Overview and
Concurrence Form; FEMA Form 086–0–
27A, Riverine Hydrology and
Hydraulics Form; FEMA Form 086–0–
27B, Riverine Structures Form; FEMA
Form 086–0–27C, Coastal Analysis
Form; FEMA Form 086–0–27D, Coastal
Structures Form; FEMA Form 086–0–
27E, Alluvial Fan Flooding Form.
Abstract: The forms in this
information collection are used to
determine if the collected data will
result in the modification of a BFE, a
SFHA, or a floodway. Once the
information is collected, it is submitted
to FEMA for review and is subsequently
included on the NFIP maps. Using these
maps, lenders will determine the
application of the mandatory flood
insurance purchase requirements, and
insurance agents will determine
actuarial flood insurance rates. The
maps are also used by communities
participating in the NFIP to establish
floodplain management requirements.
Affected Public: State, Local and
Tribal Government and Business or
Other for-Profit Institutes.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
5,291.
Estimated Number of Responses:
5,291.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 16,107.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost: $1,084,308.
Estimated Respondents’ Operation
and Maintenance Costs: $22,010,000.
Estimated Respondents’ Capital and
Start-Up Costs: None.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to the
Federal Government: $24,559.06.

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

(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.

Background
The Endangered Species Act of 1973,

ESA), prohibits certain activities with
endangered and threatened species
unless the activities are specifically

in part 17 of title 50 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) provide for
the issuance of such permits and require
that we invite public comment before
issuing permits for activities involving
endangered species.
A permit granted by us under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA authorizes the
permittee to conduct activities with U.S.
endangered or threatened species for
scientific purposes, enhancement of
propagation or survival, or interstate
commerce (the latter only in the event
