Cecelia Rosenberg, Grants Policy Branch

(202) 646–3321 for additional 

information. You may contact the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA’s 

regulations implementing the SRL 

program appeals process, authorized by 

the Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (42 

U.S.C. 4102a) are located at 44 CFR 

79.7(d). This information collection 

outlines the process by which any 

owner of a severe repetitive loss of 

property may appeal a FEMA decision 

that would increase the chargeable 

insurance premium rate on the property. 

This process requires the owner to 

submit a written appeal, including any 

supporting documentation, to FEMA 

within 90 days of the notice of the 

insurance increase. Much of the 

supporting documentation for SRL 

applications is covered under a separate 

collection, OMB No. 1660–0072, 

Mitigation Grant Programs (e-Grants). 

Although much of the supporting 

documentation has already been 

submitted in the original application for 

SRL grant funds, the property owner 

may submit any additional 

documentation that supports their 

appeal. Without this required 

information, FEMA will be unable to 

implement the appeals process for the 

SRL program, and will be in violation of 

the requirements under the Flood 

Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4102a.
