Notice of Public Meeting on the 

National Flood Insurance Program’s 

Community Rating System 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Announcement of open public 

meetings. 

SUMMARY: FEMA will hold three public 

meetings remotely via web conference 

to solicit public feedback about the 

National Flood Insurance Program’s 

(NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) 

program. FEMA is issuing this public 

meeting notice to inform the public that

aim to help FEMA ensure that the CRS 

program includes necessary, properly 

tailored, and up-to-date requirements 

that effectively achieve the goals of (1) 

reducing and avoiding flood damage to 

insurable property, (2) strengthening 

and supporting the insurance aspects of 

the NFIP, and (3) encouraging a 

comprehensive approach to floodplain 

management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

NFIP’s CRS program is a voluntary 

incentive program that recognizes and 

encourages community floodplain 

management practices that exceed the 

minimum requirements of the NFIP for 

floodplain management. As FEMA 

undertakes a series of initiatives that 

will transform the NFIP, the agency is 

evaluating the CRS program and its 

potential to support FEMA, State, local, 

Tribal, and territorial community goals 

and needs. 

FEMA is committed to obtaining 

public input to drive and focus FEMA’s 

review of the CRS program. Because 

Federal regulations and policies have 

broad impacts on society in general, 

members of the public are likely to have 

useful information, data, and 

perspectives on the benefits and 

burdens of FEMA’s existing programs, 

regulations, information collections, and 

policies. Accordingly, FEMA is seeking 

specific public feedback to facilitate the 

CRS program review and improvement 

effort in the context of equity for all, 

include those in underserved 

communities. With the increasing risk 

of flooding and flood damage, in part 

because of climate change, it is essential 

that FEMA reevaluate programs to 

reduce unnecessary barriers to 

participation and effectiveness, to serve 

all communities, to increase equity, and 

to promote preparedness. 

As part of FEMA’s review of the CRS 

program, we published a RFI on 

Monday, August 23, 2021at 86 FR 

47128. FEMA is seeking input through 

this RFI on ways the agency can 

improve the CRS program: (1) To better 

align the CRS program with the 

improved understanding of flood risk 

and flood risk approaches that have 

developed since the program’s 

inception; (2) to better incentivize 

communities and policyholders to 

become more resilient and to not only 

manage, but to lower their vulnerability 

to flood risk; and (3) to support the 

sound financial framework of the NFIP. 

While the CRS program today has 

evolved, the overall approach and 

framework of the program has been the 

same since the start of the program. As 

FEMA undertakes many initiatives that 

will transform the NFIP, the agency is 

also evaluating the CRS program and its 

potential to support FEMA, State 

government, Tribal government, and 

community goals and needs. While the 

agency has made incremental changes 

since the CRS program’s 

implementation, the agency is seeking 

input to further improve the program 

through additional programmatic 

changes. With the continuous learning 

around flood, flood risk management, 

and flood risk reduction techniques, 

FEMA now has more information about 

and understanding of multi-frequency 

analysis, pluvial flooding, climate 

change, and the extent of flood risk 

outside of the SFHA. FEMA seeks to 

make larger improvements within our 

programs based on these developments 

and is now taking a holistic look at the 

CRS program to determine how the 

program can best meet FEMA and 

stakeholder needs.

Intent To Request an Extension From 

OMB of One Current Public Collection 

of Information: Pipeline Corporate 

Security Review Program 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration, DHS. 

ACTION: 60-Day notice. 

SUMMARY: The Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) invites public 

comment on one currently-approved 

Information Collection Request (ICR), 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) control number 1652–0056, 

abstracted below, that we will submit to 

OMB for an extension in compliance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA). On July 15, 2021, OMB approved 

TSA’s request for an emergency revision 

of this collection to address the ongoing 

cybersecurity threat to pipeline systems 

and associated infrastructure. TSA is 

now seeking to renew the collection, 

which expires on January 31, 2022, with 

incorporation of the subject of the 

emergency revision. The ICR describes 

the nature of the information collection 

and its expected burden. The collection 

allows TSA to assess the current 

security practices in the pipeline 

industry through TSA’s Pipeline 

Corporate Security Review (PCSR) 

program. The PCSR program is part of 

the larger domain awareness, 

prevention, and protection program 

supporting TSA’s and the Department of 

Homeland Security’s missions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.), an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a valid OMB control 

number. The ICR documentation will be 

available at http://www.reginfo.gov 

upon its submission to OMB. Therefore, 

in preparation for OMB review and 

approval of the following information 

collection, TSA is soliciting comments 

to— 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

information requirement is necessary for 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including using 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Information Collection Requirement 

OMB Control Number 1652–0056; 

Pipeline Corporate Security Review 

(PCSR) Program. Under the Aviation 

and Transportation Security Act 1 and 

delegated authority from the Secretary 

of Homeland Security, TSA has broad 

responsibility and authority for 

‘‘security in all modes of transportation 

. . . including security responsibilities 

. . . over modes of transportation that 

are exercised by the Department of 

Transportation.’’ 2 TSA is specifically 

empowered to assess threats to 

transportation; 3 develop policies, 

strategies, and plans for dealing with 

threats to transportation; 4 oversee the 

implementation and adequacy of 

security measures at transportation 

facilities; 5 and carry out other 

appropriate duties relating to 

transportation security.6 The 

Implementing Recommendations of the 

9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (9/11 Act) 

included a specific requirement for TSA 

to conduct assessments of critical 

pipeline facilities.7

Assessing Voluntary Implementation of 

Recommendations 

Consistent with these authorities and 

requirements, TSA developed the PCSR 

program to assess the current security 

practices in the pipeline industry, with 

a focus on the physical and cyber 

security of pipelines and the crude oil 

and petroleum products, such as 

gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, home heating 

oil, and natural gas, moving through the 

system infrastructure. PCSRs are 

voluntary, face-to-face visits, usually at 

the headquarters facility of the pipeline 

owner/operator. Typically, TSA sends 

one to three employees to conduct a 

seven to eight hour interview with 

representatives from the owner/ 

operator. The TSA representatives 

analyze the owner/operator’s security 

plan and policies and compare their 

practices with recommendations in 

TSA’s Pipeline Security Guidelines. 

During the PCSR assessment, the 

PCSR program subject matter experts: 

• Meet with senior corporate officers 

and security managers. 

• Develop knowledge of security 

planning at critical pipeline 

infrastructure sites. 

• Establish and maintain a working 

relationship with key security staff who 

operate critical pipeline infrastructure. 

• Identify industry smart practices 

and lessons learned. 

• Maintain a dynamic modal network 

through effective communications with
