SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP is authorized by the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968 (NFIA) (Pub. L. 90-448) and expanded by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Pub. L.
[[Page 66126]]
93-234). The NFIA requires FEMA to provide flood insurance at full
actuarial rates, reflecting the complete flood risk to structures built
or substantially improved, on or after the effective date for the
initial Flood Insurance Rate Map for the community, so that the risks
associated with buildings in flood-prone areas are borne by those
located in such areas and not by taxpayers at large. In accordance with
the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, the purchase of flood
insurance is mandatory when Federal or Federally-related financial
assistance is being provided for acquisition or construction of
buildings located, or to be located, within FEMA-identified special
flood hazard areas of communities that participate in the NFIP.
FEMA proposes minor revisions to the existing paper forms completed
by licensed insurance agents and the addition of a new electronic form
that property owners can complete online.
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on April 11, 2024, at 89 FR 25642 with a 60-day public
comment period. One public comment discussing wildfires was received,
but FEMA considers this comment to not be germane to this NFIP
information collection. 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.
