# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is authorized by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4001*et seq.*                     The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers the NFIP and maintains the maps that depict flood hazard information. Communities are required to submit technical information concerning flood hazards and plans to avoid potential flood hazards when physical changes occur (                    *see*44 CFR 65.3). Communities are provided the right to submit technical information when inconsistencies on maps are identified (                    *see*44 CFR 65.4). In order to revise the Base (one-percent annual chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs), Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), and floodways presented on the NFIP maps, a community must submit scientific or technical data demonstrating the need for a revision. The NFIP regulations outline the data that must be submitted for these requests (                    *see*44 CFR part 65). This collection serves to provide a standard format for the general information                           ( print page 5253)                        requirements outlined in the NFIP regulations and helps establish an organized package of the data needed to revise NFIP maps.                

                    This proposed information collection previously published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on October 26, 2023, at 88 FR 73604 with a 60-day public comment period. One public comment voicing their support for this information collection was received. FEMA wishes to thank the commentor for their support. The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for review and clearance.
