SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
is authorized by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
administers the NFIP and maintains the maps that depict flood hazard
information. Communities are required to submit technical information
concerning flood hazards and plans to avoid potential flood hazards
when physical changes occur (see 44 CFR 65.3). Communities are provided
the right to submit technical information when inconsistencies on maps
are identified (see 44 CFR 65.4). In order to revise the Base (one-
percent annual chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs), Special Flood Hazard
Areas (SFHAs), and floodways presented on the NFIP maps, a community
must submit scientific or technical data demonstrating the need for a
revision. The NFIP regulations outline the data that must be submitted
for these requests (see 44 CFR part 65). This collection serves to
provide a standard format for the general information
[[Page 5253]]
requirements outlined in the NFIP regulations and helps establish an
organized package of the data needed to revise NFIP maps.
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on October 26, 2023, at 88 FR 73604 with a 60-day
public comment period. One public comment voicing their support for
this information collection was received. FEMA wishes to thank the
commentor for their support. The purpose of this notice is to notify
the public that FEMA will submit the information collection abstracted
below to the Office of Management and Budget for review and clearance.
