Joycelyn Collins, Underwriting Branch 

Program Analyst, Federal Insurance 

Directorate, 202–701–3383. You may 

contact the Information Management 

Division for copies of the proposed 

collection of information at email 

address: FEMA-Information-CollectionsManagement@fema.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) is authorized by the National 

Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (90–448, 

title XIII) and expanded by the Flood 

Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (93–234) 

and requires that FEMA provide flood 

insurance. FEMA delineates flood zones 

on a Flood Insurance Rate Map to 

identify Special Flood Hazard Areas 

(SFHAs) in a community. 44 CFR 

60.3(c)(2) requires that all new 

construction and substantial 

improvements of residential structures 

within SFHA Zones A1–30, AE, AH, 

and AO zones have the lowest floor, 

including the basement, elevated to or 

above the base flood level unless a 

community-wide exception or sitespecific variance is granted. 44 CFR 

60.6(a)(7) and 44 CFR 60.6(b)(1) allow 

communities to apply for an exception 

when circumstances present a hardship 

that would not allow for adherence to 

the requirement for elevation above the 

base flood level. This exception must 

meet the conditions set forth in 44 CFR 

60.6(c). When owners of residential 

structures in these zones are seeking 

flood insurance, they must be certified 

that the structural design is floodproof. 

Collection of Information 

Title: Residential Basement 

Floodproofing Certification. 

Type of Information Collection:

FY–21–122 (formerly 086–0–24),

Abstract: The Residential Basement 

Floodproofing Certification is required 

to certify that floodproofing of a 

structure in communities approved for 

Residential Basement floodproofing 

meets at least minimal floodproofing 

specifications. Residential structures 

that receive this certification are granted 

a discount on flood insurance 

premiums. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
