33540 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 121 / Friday, June 22, 2001 / Notices

National Archives has 207 ARMIS

records, Reports 495A and 495B, for

which confidential treatment had been

sought when the reports were filed.

Some of the ARMIS records that have

been sent to the National Archives were

originally filed with requests for

confidentiality under section 0.459 of

the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR section

0.459. As is the Commission’s practice

under its rules, see 47 CFR section

0.459(d)(1), it has not ruled on these

requests for confidential treatment.

There have not been any Freedom of

Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking

disclosure of these documents.

The National Archives has inquired

whether the ARMIS reports should still

be treated confidentially. We find that

after 10 years there is no need for

further confidential treatment of these

records. Unless we are advised by July

30, 2001 by carriers that sought

confidential treatment for their ARMIS

report that continued confidential

treatment is warranted, we will notify

the National Archives that it may

remove the designation of

confidentiality from these records. A

carrier seeking continued confidential

treatment must provide the reasons such

treatment is still required and justify the

period during which it contends the

reports should not be publicly available.

See 47 CFR section 0.459(b)(8). Carriers

advocating continued confidential

treatment should file their requests with

FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Collection;

Comment Request

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

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 proposed continuing

information collections. In accordance

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this

notice seeks comments concerning the

information collection outlined in 44

CFR part 71, as it pertains to application

for National Flood Insurance Program

(NFIP) insurance for buildings located

in Coastal Barrier Resource System

(CBRS) communities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. The

Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA)

Public Law 97–3480 and the Coastal

Barrier Improvement Act (CBRA) Public

Law 101–591 are federal laws that were

enacted on October 1, 1982, and

November 16, 1990, respectively. The

legislation was implemented as part of

a Department of the Interior (DOI)

initiative to preserve the ecological

integrity of areas DOI designates as

coastal barriers and otherwise protected

areas. The laws provide this protection

by prohibiting all federal expenditures

or financial assistance including flood

insurance for residential or commercial

development in areas identified with

the system. When an application for

flood insurance is submitted for

buildings located in CBRS communities,

documentation must be submitted as

evidence of eligibility.

Collection of Information

Title: Implementation of Coastal

Barrier Resources Act.

Type of Information Collection:

Revision of a currently approved

collection.

OMB Number: 3067–0120.

Abstract: Section II of the Coastal

Barrier Resources Act (Pub. L. 97–348)

prohibits the sale of National Flood

Insurance Program policies for new

construction and substantial

improvement of structures on

undeveloped coastal barriers on or after

October 1, 1983. The information

collection contained in FEMA

regulation 44 CFR 71.4 is used by FEMA

to determine that a structure is neither

new construction nor a substantial

improvement, and therefore is eligible

for flood insurance. If the information is

not collected, NFIP policies would be

provided for buildings which are legally

ineligible for it, thus exposing the

Federal Government to an insurance

liability Congress choose to limit.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; Business or other for-profit;

Not-for-profit institutions; Farms;

Federal Government; State, Local or

Tribal Government.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 90 hours.

(A) (B) (C) (A x B x C)

Estimated Cost: Total estimated cost

to the Federal Government is estimated

to be $239 (60 responses x $3.99 per

response) for NFIP servicing contractor.

Total estimated cost to respondents is

estimated to be $600 (60 responses x

$10 per respondent) to include cost to

make phone calls, mail written request,

make trips to local office to obtain

documentation and copying fees which

may be charged by the local office.

Comments

Written comments are solicited to (a)

evaluate whether the proposed data

collection is necessary for the proper

performance of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) evaluate the

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the

burden of the proposed collection of

information, including the validity of

the methodology and assumptions used;

(c) evaluate the accuracy of the

estimated costs to respondents to

provide the information to the agency;

(d) enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (e) minimize the burden

of the collection of information on those

who are to respond, including through

the use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

responses. Comments should be

received within 60 days of the date of

this notice.
