This proposed information collection previously published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2023, at 88 FR 25004 with a 60-day public comment period. Two public comments were received, but neither are germane to this collection because the comments did not discuss these instruments or the information they collect. This information collection is set to expire on July 31, 2023. FEMA is requesting a revision to the currently approved information collection. The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for review and clearance. Collection of Information Title: Revisions to National Flood Insurance Program Maps: Application Forms and Instructions for (C)LOMAs and (C)LOMR–Fs. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved information collection. OMB Number: 1660–0015. FEMA Forms: FEMA Form FF–206– FY–23–104 (formerly 086–0–22) and FEMA Form FF–206–FY–23–104–A (formerly 086–0–22A (Spanish)), Application Form for Single Residential Lot or Structure Amendments to National Flood Insurance Program Maps; FEMA Form FF–206–FY–23–105 (formerly 086–0–26), Property Information Form; FEMA Form FF–206– FY–23–106 (formerly 086–0–26A), Elevation Form; and FEMA Form FF– 206–FY–23–107 (formerly 086–0–26B), Community Acknowledgment Form. Abstract: FEMA collects scientific and technical data submissions to determine whether a specific property is located within or outside of a 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), making it possible for the lending institution to waive the flood insurance requirement.

Estimated Number of Responses: 67,701. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 71,234. Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost: $3,748,747.
