FEMA
proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community
listed below, in accordance with section
110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
These proposed flood hazard
determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required
by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that
are required. They should not be
construed to mean that the community
must change any existing ordinances
that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements.
The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
These flood hazard determinations are
used to meet the floodplain
management requirements of the NFIP.
The communities affected by the
flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any
request for reconsideration of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00091
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
revised flood hazard information shown
on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report
that satisfies the data requirements
outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered
an appeal. Comments unrelated to the
flood hazard determinations also will be
considered before the FIRM and FIS
report become effective.
Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel
(SRP) is available to communities in
support of the appeal resolution
process. SRPs are independent panels of
experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and
other pertinent sciences established to
review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide
recommendations for resolution. Use of
the SRP only may be exercised after
FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation
process for at least 60 days without a
mutually acceptable resolution of an
appeal. Additional information
regarding the SRP process can be found
online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/
srp_overview.pdf.
The watersheds and/or communities
affected are listed in the tables below.
The Preliminary FIRM, and where
applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection
at both the online location https://
hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/
prelimdownload and the respective
Community Map Repository address
listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary
studies, the studies can be identified by
the unique project number and
Preliminary FIRM date listed in the
tables. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center
at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is

The Federal Register notice that
solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Project Based Vouchers (PBV) Online
Form.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0296.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD is developing a
standardized electronic system that will
collect this information. Within the
scope of this collection, HUD requests
the information in this notice from
Public Housing Authorities (PHA)
participating in the PBV program.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: PHAs
apply for funding to assist low-income
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
families to lease housing. One of the
programs through which PHAs provide
housing assistance is the Housing
Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, a
tenant-based rental assistance program.
This program operates by providing
vouchers that cover a portion of the rent
to owner for a unit. Some PHAs projectbase their vouchers (the rental
assistance is connected to a unit, not a
family). Project-based vouchers (PBVs)
are becoming a larger percentage of
PHAs overall HCV portfolios, rising
from just over 110,000 in 2016 to
approximately 307,000 at the end of
2022. The PBV portfolio is expected to
grow even more with the on-going
conversion of up to 455,000 public
housing units to project-based
assistance under the Congressionally
authorized Rental Assistance
Demonstration (RAD). HUD currently
collects information on individual
participants in the HCV program who
are in PBV units.
This leaves a gap in HUD’s
information collection of PBVs between
the individual tenant data and the
aggregated PHA data. HUD does not
systematically collect information on
the development or project level,
including the number of units at PBV
projects, what exceptions apply, their
rents, the terms of contract, and
numerous other potential data points.
This creates a challenge for monitoring,
tracking and analyzing PBV projects,
and limits HUD’s ability to respond to
requests for information on the PBV
program from Congress and other
sources. Additionally, it prevents HUD
from having data with which to make
informed decisions on risk-mitigation
strategies with respect to PBVs.
Potential risks are particularly
heightened in the case of RAD PBV
where a PHA-owned property is
required to have an independent entity
that performs inspections and
determines rent adjustments. Currently,
