Federal Emergency Management 

Agency 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on a proposed 

revised information collection. In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks 

comments concerning information 

required by FEMA to revise National 

Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Maps. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With the 

passage of the Flood Disaster Protection 

Act of 1973, an owner of a structure, 

with a federally backed mortgage, 

located in the 1-percent annual chance 

floodplain, was required to purchase 

federal flood insurance. This was in 

response to the escalating damage 

caused by flooding and the 

unavailability of flood insurance from 

commercial insurance companies. As 

part of this effort, FEMA mapped the 1- 

percent annual chance floodplain in 

communities. However, the 1-percent 

annual chance floodplain may change 

due to changes within the floodplain, or 

may be more accurately depicted 

through the use of more up-to-date 

methods and data. FEMA will issue a 

Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to 

officially revise the 1-percent annual 

chance floodplain. 

Collection of Information 

Title: Revision to National Flood 

Insurance Program Maps: Application 

Forms for LOMRs and Conditional 

LOMRs. 

Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

collection. 

OMB Number: 1660–0016. 

Form Numbers: FEMA Forms 81–89, 

81–89A, 81–89B, 81–89C, 81–89D, 81–

89E. 

Abstract: The certification forms 

(referred to as MT–2 series forms) are 

designed to assist requesters in 

gathering information that FEMA needs 

to revise a NFIP map. FEMA Form 81–

89, Overview and Concurrence Form, 

describes the location of the request, 

what is being requested, and what data 

are required to support the request. In 

addition, NFIP regulations 44 CFR 

65.5(a)(4) require that a community 

official certify that the request complies 

with minimum floodplain management 

criteria specified in 44 CFR 60.3. This 

form ensures that this requirement is 

fulfilled prior to the submittal of the 

request to FEMA. FEMA Form 81–89A, 

Riverine Hydrology and Hydraulics 

Form, allows FEMA to efficiently 

review assumptions made, parameters 

used, and the results of hydrologic and 

hydraulic analyses performed in 

support of a revision request. It also 

addresses more common regulatory 

issues; FEMA Form 81–89B, Riverine 

Structures Form, allows FEMA to 

efficiently review assumptions made, 

parameters used, and the results of 

revision requests involving new or 

modified structures in riverine flood 

hazard areas; FEMA Form 81–89C, 

Coastal Analysis Form, allows FEMA to 

efficiently review assumptions made, 

parameters used, and the results of 

coastal analyses performed in support of 

a revision request. It also addresses 

more common regulatory issues; FEMA 

Form 81–89D, Coastal Structures Form, 

allows FEMA to efficiently review 

assumptions made, parameters used, 

and the results of revision requests 

involving new or modified structures in 

coastal flood hazard areas; FEMA Form 

81–89E, Alluvial Fan Flooding Form, 

allows FEMA to efficiently review 

assumptions made, parameters used, 

and the results of alluvial fan flooding 

analyses performed in support of a 

revision request. 

Affected Public: Business and other 

for profit organization such as Land 

Surveyors or Engineering firms will 

primarily be affected by the collection. 

In addition, home owners, local or state 

officials may also be affected in some 

instances.
