SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
codified as 42 U.S.C. 4001, et seq. is authorized by Public Law 90-448
(1968) and expanded by Public Law 93-234 (1973). The Department of
Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
administers the NFIP. The NFIP's major objective is to assure that
participating communities are achieving the flood loss reduction
objectives through adoption and enforcement of adequate land use and
control measures. Sections 1315 and 1361 provide the basis for FEMA's
process to evaluate how well communities are implementing their
floodplain management programs. Title 44 CFR 59.22 directs the
respondent to submit evidence of the corrective and preventive measures
taken to meet the flood loss reduction objectives.
The two key methods FEMA uses in determining community assistance
needs are through the Community Assistance Contact (CAC) and Community
Assistance Visit (CAV), which serve to provide a systematic means of
monitoring community NFIP compliance. Through the CAC and CAV, FEMA can
also determine to what extent communities are achieving the flood loss
reduction objectives of the NFIP. By providing assistance to
communities, the CAC and CAV also serve to enhance FEMA's goals of
reducing future flood losses, thereby achieving the NFIP's cost-
containment objective. The burden hours and costs associated with this
collection were re-evaluated which led to the main revision in this
extension request.
