SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

previously published in the Federal
Register on June 15, 2018 at 83 FR

comment that did not require any
adjudication related to the information
collection. Under Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, Section 2(a)(6),
42 U.S.C. 4002(a)(6), Congress finds it is
in the public interest for persons already
living in flood prone areas to have an
opportunity to purchase flood insurance
and access to more adequate limits of
coverage to be indemnified for their
losses in the event of future flood
disasters. To this end, FEMA
established and carries out a National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which
enables interested persons to purchase
insurance against loss resulting from
physical damage to or loss of real or
personal property arising from any flood
occurring in the United States. 42 U.S.C.
4011. In carrying out the NFIP, FEMA
operates a call center in conjunction
with the FloodSmart website
(www.FloodSmart.gov). Together these
methods of marketing and outreach
provide the mechanism for current and
potential policyholders to learn more
about floods and flood insurance,
contact an agent, or assess their risk.
The information collected from callers/
visitors is used to fulfill requests for
published materials, email alerts, policy
rates, and agent contact information.
Additionally, FEMA and the NFIP
offer Agents.FloodSmart.gov as a
resource for agents. Upon website
registration, agents can enroll in the
Agent Referral Program to receive free
leads through the consumer site or the
call center as outlined above. This
information collection seeks approval to
continue collecting name, address and
telephone number information from: (1)
Business and residential property
owners and renters who voluntarily call
to request flood insurance information
and possibly an insurance agent referral
and, (2) insurance agents interested in
enrolling in the agent referral service.
