Commenters might also address how FEMA can best obtain and consider accurate, objective information and data about the costs, burdens, and benefits of the interim policy and whether there are existing sources of data that FEMA can use to evaluate the effects of the interim policy over time. • Commenters should identify with specificity administrative burdens, program requirements, information collection burdens, waiting time, or unnecessary complexity that may impose unjustified barriers in general, or that may have adverse effects on equity for all, including those in disadvantaged communities. • Commenters should provide the number of the question(s) being answered in the commenter’s response (e.g. In response to question #5 . . . ). IV. Specific Information Requested FEMA seeks comment on the interim policy, specifically on: 1. How will the activities incentivized through the interim policy increase resilience or decrease future risk? Please explain. 2. Will there be specific challenges faced by disadvantaged communities in meeting the requirements of the interim policy? In particular, will disadvantaged communities have challenges in adopting the building or energy codes necessary for the 10% increase in cost share? Please explain. 3. Are the incentives outlined in the policy sufficient to encourage additional investment or activity that would not have otherwise occurred? Why or why not? 4. Are there alternative measures that FEMA should consider incentivizing through the policy that would help to achieve greater readiness and resilience to future disasters? Some examples are outlined in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which authorized FEMA to provide the cost share incentives under the PA program, including: adoption of a mitigation plan, participation in the community rating system, and making investments in disaster relief, insurance, and emergency management programs. Please comment on those examples and/ or provide additional examples. 5. Are there ways to make the interim policy more accessible or to decrease public burden in its implementation? Please provide examples. Based on the comments received, FEMA may make appropriate revisions to the interim policy. When or if FEMA VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:42 Sep 30, 2024 Jkt 265001 issues a final policy, FEMA will publish a notice of availability in the Federal Register and make the final policy available at https:// www.regulations.gov. Responses to this notice do not bind FEMA to any further actions related to the responses. The final policy will not have the force and effect of law. Authority: The Robert T.

Abstract: This 60-day notice is a renewal, with revisions, for the Hydrography Addressing Tool (HydroAdd), a website developed by the USGS National Geospatial Program, National Geospatial Technical Operations Center (NGTOC). HydroAdd supports users by providing a mechanism for addressing (or referencing) diverse external datasets to the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). For example, a user can utilize HydroAdd to reference the geographic locations of field observations of fish presence to the NHD. HydroAdd provides a framework for the management of addressed data and enables upstream and downstream analyses within the context of the stream network. Any type of information can be addressed to the stream network, making this tool highly useful for a broad range of purposes that benefit the Nation. HydroAdd users are members of the public in State and local government, the private sector, academia, or are other users with basic knowledge of GIS. To use HydroAdd, users must first share their geospatial data as a hosted web feature service from ArcGIS Online. HydroAdd displays the user’s data as a web feature service in the browser window. Users can then utilize HydroAdd to address their data to the E:\FR\FM\01OCN1.SGM 01OCN1
