SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Flood and Coastal Storm
Damage Surveys; OMB Control Number 0710-0017.
Type of Request: Extension.
Number of Respondents: 3,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 3,000.
Average Burden per Response: 23 minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 1,150.
Needs and Uses: Information collection via the survey instruments
is necessary to formulate and evaluate alternative water resources
development plans in accordance with the Principles and Guidelines for
Water Related Land Resources Implementation Studies (PR&G), promulgated
by the U.S. Water Resources Council, 1983, which specifically
identifies personal interviews as a method of gathering primary flood
damage data. The PR&G were most recently updated in 2013 at the
direction of Section 2031 of the Water Resources Development Act of
2007 (Pub. L. 110-114). The information collection is also needed to
determine the effectiveness and evaluate the impacts of Army Corps of
Engineers projects (Pub. L. 74-738); and, in the
[[Page 34221]]
case of flood damage mitigation, obtain information on flood damages
incurred, whether or not a project is being considered or exists (Pub.
L. 74-738). The information to be gathered under this collection also
supports the mandate from the Flood Control Act of 1936 (Pub. L. 74-
734), which established the criterion for Federal action that ``the
benefits, to whomsoever they may accrue are in excess of the estimated
costs.'' The Engineer Regulation (ER) 1105-2-100, Planning Guidance
Notebook (April, 2000) defines benefits for the project under
consideration, with flood damages avoided comprising the primary
category of benefits used in project justification. Secondary benefits
include reductions in emergency costs, unrecoverable and non-
transferrable income losses, clean-up and other costs associated with
flooding.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) provides flood risk
management structural and nonstructural mitigation, planning and tech
services to communities, residents, and businesses at risk of flooding.
Flood damage surveys are administered by USACE and its contractors to
determine the impacts and potential impacts of flooding and to
determine how communities, residents, and businesses respond to
flooding. The data are used for estimating damage for factors such as
depth of flooding, construction types, and different occupancies of
use, which influences project formulation and budgeting. Damage
estimation models are then calculated and used to estimate the cost of
flooding and to evaluate the benefits of alternative flood mitigation
plans, which are critical to determining the feasibility of flood risk
management projects. Results of surveys will help communities to better
determine and communicate their flood risks. The models are also used
for programmatic evaluation of the Army Corps of Engineers' National
Flood Risk Management Program.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; individuals or
households; not-for-profit institutions; State, local, or Tribal
government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Matthew Oreska.
