# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Collection of Information

*Title:*                     Elevation Certificate/Floodproofing Certificate.                

*Type of information collection:*                     Revision of a currently approved collection.                

*OMB Number:*                     1660-0008.                

*Form Titles and Numbers:*                     FEMA Form 81-31, Elevation Certificate, FEMA Form 81-65, Floodproofing Certificate.                

*Abstract:*                     The Elevation Certificate and Floodproofing Certificate are used in conjunction with the application for flood insurance. The certificates are required to properly rate post Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) structures, which are buildings constructed after the publication of the initial FIRM or December 31, 1974, for flood insurance in Special Flood Hazard Areas. In addition, the Elevation Certificate is needed for pre-FIRM structures, which are buildings constructed before the initial FIRM or December 31, 1974, that are being rated under post-FIRM flood insurance rules. The certificates provide community officials and others standardized documents to readily record needed building elevation information. National Flood Insurance Policy policyholders/applicants provide the appropriate certificate to insurance agents. The certificate is then used in conjunction with the insurance application so that the building can be properly rated for flood insurance.                

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals and households, Business or other for-profit, State, Local or Tribal Government.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     6,575.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     On Occasion.                

*Estimated Average Hour Burden per Respondent:*                     FEMA Form 81-31, Elevation Certificate, 3.75 hours; FEMA Form 81-65, Floodproofing Certificate, 3.25 hours.                

*Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*                     24,649 hours.                

*Estimated Cost:*                     The estimated cost to respondents for purchasing professional services required to complete the certificates is $2,301,250.
