In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks comments concerning information collected for the selling and servicing of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policies by FEMA’s direct servicing agent, NFIP Direct. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before June 10, 2024. ADDRESSES: To avoid duplicate submissions to the docket, please submit comments at www.regulations.gov under Docket ID FEMA–2024–0011.

You may contact the Information Management Division for copies of the proposed collection of information at email address: FEMA-InformationCollections-Management@fema.dhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP is authorized by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (NFIA) (Pub. L. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:50 Apr 10, 2024 Jkt 262001 90–448) and expanded by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Pub. L. 93–234). The NFIA 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 the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 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 FEMAidentified special flood hazard areas of communities that participate in the NFIP. FEMA proposes minor revisions to the existing paper forms completed by licensed insurance agents and the addition of a new electronic form that property owners can complete online. Collection of Information Title: National Flood Insurance Program Policy Forms. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved information collection. OMB Number: 1660–0006.

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 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 Community 25643 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.
