Activities: Proposed Collection: 

Comment Request 

In compliance with the requirement 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), the Health 

Resources and Services Administration 

(HRSA) publishes periodic summaries 

of proposed projects being developed 

for submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

To request more information on the 

proposed project or to obtain a copy of 

the data collection plans and draft 

instruments, call the HRSA Reports 

Clearance Officer on (301) 443–1129. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Proposed Project: The Organ 

Procurement and Transplantation 

Network (OMB No. 0915–0286)—

Extension 

The Organ Procurement and 

Transplantation Network (OPTN) 

necessitates certain recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements in order to 

perform the functions related to organ 

transplantation under contract to HHS. 

OMB requires review and approval of 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements associated with the final 

rule governing the operation of the 

OPTN (42 CFR Part 121) related to 

Secretarial review and appeals. There 

are recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements associated with the 

process for filing appeals in the case 

where applicants are rejected for 

membership or designation in the 

OPTN. To date, no appeals have been 

filed. The burden requirements for this 

process are minimal. The estimate of 

burden for this process consists of 

preparing a letter requesting 

reconsideration and compiling 

supporting documentation.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND

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 the National 

Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) 

Community Rating System (CRS) 

Coordinator’s Manual, accompanying 

worksheets and application form. The 

CRS Coordinator’s Manual is the 

primary document used by CRS 

participating communities that 

describes the CRS program and the 

community-based floodplain 

management activities performed by 

participating communities. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

CRS was established by Congress in 

section 541, Community Rating System 

and Incentives for Community 

Floodplain Management, of the National 

Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994. 

The CRS was established to (1) Reduce 

flood losses; (2) facilitate accurate 

insurance rating, and; (3) promote the 

awareness of flood insurance. The CRS 

encourages these goals by providing 

flood insurance premium discounts to 

policy holders in those communities 

that implement activities and programs 

that directly support the goals stated 

above. Communities are only eligible to 

participate in the CRS if they have been 

found to be compliant with the 

floodplain management requirements of 

the NFIP, as determined by the 

applicable FEMA Regional Office. The 

data collected from CRS communities, 

as described in the CRS Coordinator’s 

Manual and by using the worksheets, is 

used and is necessary to evaluate if the 

community is implementing the 

activities to which it has agreed. 

Collection of Information 

Title: Community Rating System 

(CRS) Program—Application 

Worksheets and Commentary. 

Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

collection. 

OMB Number: 1660–0022. 

Form Numbers: FEMA FORM 81–73, 

Community Rating System Application. 

Abstract: CRS Application Cover 

Page, Recertification Worksheet and 

Modification/Cycle Cover Page are used 

by a community to apply or renew CRS 

program participation and specify what 

activities will be performed by the 

community. CRS Activity Worksheets 

are used by the community to provide 

details in the selected activities based 

on the CRS Coordinator’s Manual. 

Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

8,450 hours.

Comments: Written comments are 

solicited to (a) Evaluate whether the 

proposed data collection is necessary for 

the proper performance of the agency, 

including whether the information shall 

have practical utility; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of
