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 Cost: The estimated cost to 

respondents for purchasing professional 

services required to complete the 

certificates is $2,301,250. 

Dated: February 23, 2012.
