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 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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 Community 102935 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.

Overview of Information Collection Title of Information Collection: Public Housing—Contracting with ResidentOwned Businesses. OMB Control Number: 2577–0161. Type of Request: Extension of previously approved collection. Form Number: N/A. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: PHAs that entered into contracts with resident-owned businesses prior to December 26, 2014, must comply with the requirements/procedures set forth in, 24 CFR 85.36(h), and 24 CFR 85.36(i). Contracts with resident-owned businesses entered into after December 26, 2014, must comply with 24 CFR part 963, 2 CFR 200.325, and 2 CFR 200.326 and other such contract terms that may be applicable to the procurement under the Department’s regulations. These requirements include: • Certified copies of any State, county, or municipal licenses that may be required of the business to engage in the type of business activity for which it was formed. Where applicable, the PHA must obtain a certified copy of its corporate charter or other organizational document that verifies that the business was properly formed in accordance with State law; • Certification that shows the business is owned by residents, disclosure documents that indicate all owners of the business and each owner’s percentage of the business along with sufficient evidence sufficient that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the PHA that the business has the ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of the proposed contract; • Certification as to the number of contracts awarded, and the dollar amount of each contract award received, under the alternative procurement process; and • Contract award documents, proof of bonding documents, independent cost estimates and comparable price analyses. Members of affected public: Public Housing Agencies, and Applicable Resident Entrepreneurs Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response: Estimated number of respondents: 75. The calculation for burden hours is as follows: Calculation for number of respondents: 75 (estimated number of PHAs contracting with resident owned businesses) × 24 (number of hours for procurement process) = 1,800 total hours. The Department estimates that out of a total of 3,763 PHAs only 2 percent or 75 PHAs contract with resident owned business. This number is less than the previous request due to several PHAs choosing to leave the program, but the Department anticipates there may have been more business or contracting opportunities particularly during the pandemic.

This information is necessary to ensure that each advisory council is structured to provide fair membership balance, both geographic and interest-specific, in terms of the functions to be performed and points of view to be represented, as prescribed by its charter. The BLM is requesting minor changes to Form 1120–19. The changes include removing some of the previously collected information that is not needed and, in response to user feedback, clarifying certain portions of the form. A complete description of the changes is provided in the ICR that has been submitted to OMB. This OMB control number is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2025. This request is for OMB to renew with revisions this OMB control number for an additional three (3) years.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing--Contracting with 
Resident-Owned Businesses.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0161.
    Type of Request: Extension of previously approved collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: PHAs 
that entered into contracts with resident-owned businesses prior to 
December 26, 2014, must comply with the requirements/procedures set 
forth in, 24 CFR 85.36(h), and 24 CFR 85.36(i). Contracts with 
resident-owned businesses entered into after December 26, 2014, must 
comply with 24 CFR part 963, 2 CFR 200.325, and 2 CFR 200.326 and other 
such contract terms that may be applicable to the procurement under the 
Department's regulations. These requirements include:
     Certified copies of any State, county, or municipal 
licenses that may be required of the business to engage in the type of 
business activity for which it was formed. Where applicable, the PHA 
must obtain a certified copy of its corporate charter or other 
organizational document that verifies that the business was properly 
formed in accordance with State law;
     Certification that shows the business is owned by 
residents, disclosure documents that indicate all owners of the 
business and each owner's percentage of the business along with 
sufficient evidence sufficient that demonstrates to the satisfaction of 
the PHA that the business has the ability to perform successfully under 
the terms and conditions of the proposed contract;
     Certification as to the number of contracts awarded, and 
the dollar amount of each contract award received, under the 
alternative procurement process; and
     Contract award documents, proof of bonding documents, 
independent cost estimates and comparable price analyses.
    Members of affected public: Public Housing Agencies, and Applicable 
Resident Entrepreneurs Estimation of the total number of hours needed 
to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, 
frequency of response, and hours of response: Estimated number of 
respondents: 75. The calculation for burden hours is as follows: 
Calculation for number of respondents: 75 (estimated number of PHAs 
contracting with resident owned businesses) x 24 (number of hours for 
procurement process) = 1,800 total hours. The Department estimates that 
out of a total of 3,763 PHAs only 2 percent or 75 PHAs contract with 
resident owned business. This number is less than the previous request 
due to several PHAs choosing to leave the program, but the Department 
anticipates there may have been more business or contracting 
opportunities particularly during the pandemic.
