management program. FEMA regional 

offices use this information as a means 

to know which communities need 

support and guidance. In addition, the 

NFIP Biennial Report is one of the tools 

used to assist FEMA in meeting its 

regulatory requirement under Section 

575 of the NFIRA. A ‘‘yes’’ answer to 

Items A–D in Section I of the report will 

provide the basis for FEMA to follow-up 

by contacting the community for 

clarification and/or elaboration 

regarding changes and activities 

occurring in a community’s flood 

hazard area. This information will be 

used in ranking and prioritizing one 

community’s mapping needs against all 

other communities in the NFIP and for 

determining how the limited flood 

hazard mapping funds are allocated for 

map updates. 

Affected Public: The respondents are 

the estimated 20,500 United States and 

United States territorial communities 

that are participating members of the 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP). The NFIP requires that 

communities participating in the NFIP 

submit an annual or biennial report 

describing the progress made during the 

year in the implementation and 

enforcement of floodplain management 

regulations. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 11,375 burden hours.

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) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) 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.
