Agency Information Collection

Insurance Program Call Center and 

Agent Referral Enrollment Form 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 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 revision of a currently 

approved information collection. In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks 

comments concerning this information 

collection that allows the National 

Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to 

facilitate the availability of flood 

insurance to those who have a need to 

purchase such. The NFIP will collect 

information from insurance agents who 

will offer the ability to purchase flood 

insurance, as well as from those 

interested in purchasing the insurance 

policies, so as to offer referral 

information on how the coverage may 

be obtained. If the information 

collection were not performed, the 

ability to offer respondents the 

resources available by the NFIP would 

be adversely affected.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

administers the National Flood 

Insurance Program (NFIP) in response to 

losses due to floods. The Flood Disaster 

Protection Act of 1973, Congressional 

Findings and Declaration of Purpose, 

Section 2(a)(6) finds that it is in the 

public interest for persons already living 

in flood prone areas to have both an 

opportunity to purchase flood insurance 

and access to more adequate limits of 

coverage in order to be indemnified for 

their losses in the event of future flood 

disasters. This collection will allow for 

consumers to be educated about flood 

insurance coverage and to assist them in 

obtaining such coverage.
