This collection has been updated to account for the burden hours associated with the applicant’s time to collect information as part of the community development permit process. 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. 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. See 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. In the past the NFIP application did not account for burden hours associated with this collection of information. The ‘‘Application for Participation in the NFIP’’ and the ‘‘NFIP and the Community Development Permit Process’’ are separate actions documented under the same collection SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Collection of Information Title: Application for Participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Flood Insurance Program (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 federally-related 
financial assistance for use in their floodplains. 44 CFR 59.2 
authorizes previously unavailable flood insurance protection to 
property owners in flood-prone areas and identifies the information 
that communities are required to submit to FEMA for application into 
the NFIP. 44 CFR 59.22 and 59.24 identifies the information a community 
is required to submit to FEMA for continued participation in the 
program.
    This collection has been updated to account for the burden hours 
associated with the applicant's time to collect information as part of 
the community development permit process. 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. 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. See 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. In the past the NFIP 
application did not account for burden hours associated with this 
collection of information.
    The ``Application for Participation in the NFIP'' and the ``NFIP 
and the Community Development Permit Process'' are separate actions 
documented under the same collection
