Puerto Rico; Amendment No. 15 to Notice of a Major Disaster Declaration, 75061 [2022-26531]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 7, 2022 / Notices (1968) and expanded by Public Law 93– 234 (1973). The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 requires FEMA to provide flood insurance at full actuarial rates, reflecting the complete flood risk to structures built or substantially improved, on or after the effective date for the initial Flood Insurance Rate Map for the community, so that the risks associated with buildings in flood-prone areas are borne by those located in such areas and not by taxpayers at large. In accordance with Public Law 93–234, the purchase of flood insurance is mandatory when Federal or federally related financial assistance is being provided for acquisition or construction of buildings located, or to be located, within FEMA-identified special flood hazard areas of communities that participate in the NFIP. FEMA also proposes changes to this information collection to implement a revised risk rating methodology that will apply to all policies issued or renewed on or after October 1, 2021. This revised methodology will require FEMA to collect new information necessary to sell and service flood insurance policies. However, the revised methodology is not expected to increase the overall information collection burden on the public due to the use of data from sources other than policyholders. As a result of this revised methodology, FEMA proposes to modify FEMA Forms FF–206–FY–21–117 (formerly 086–0–1), FF–206–FY–21–118 (formerly 086–0–2), and FF–206–FY– 21–119 (formerly 086–0–3). During the transition to the revised rating methodology, FEMA still needed to maintain the existing forms in this information collection. As a result, FEMA added FEMA Forms 086–0–1T, 086–0–2T, 086–0–3T, and 086–0–5T to this information collection. Now that the transition to the revised risk rating methodology has been completed, effective April 1, 2022, FEMA has discontinued the use of these forms and is removing them from this information collection. ddrumheller on DSK6VXHR33PROD with NOTICES Collection of Information Title: National Flood Insurance Program Policy Forms.
