AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response Directorate, 

U.S. Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) has 

submitted the following information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

clearance in accordance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

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

Chapter 35). The submission describes 

the nature of the information collection, 

the categories of respondents, the 

estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort 

and resources used by respondents to 

respond) and cost, and includes the 

actual data collection instruments 

FEMA will use. 

Title: Post Construction Elevation 

Certificate/Floodproofing Certificate. 

OMB Number: 1660–0008. 

Abstract: The Elevation Certificate 

and Floodproofing Certificate are used 

in conjunction with the application for 

flood insurance. The certificates are 

required for proper rating of post Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) structures, 

which are buildings constructed after 

the publication of the FIRM, for flood 

insurance in Special Flood Hazard 

Areas. In addition, the Elevation 

Certificate is needed for pre-FIRM 

structures being rated under post-FIRM 

flood insurance rules. The certificates 

provide community officials and others 

standardized documents to readily 

record needed building elevation 

information. 

The certificates are supplied to 

insurance agents, community officials, 

surveyors, engineers, architects, and 

NFIP policyholders/applicants. 

Surveyors, engineers, and architects 

complete the Elevation Certificate. 

Engineers and architects complete the 

Floodproofing Certificate. Community 

officials are provided the building 

elevation information required to 

document and determine compliance 

with the community’s floodplain 

management ordinance. NFIP 

policyholders/applicants provide the 

appropriate certificate to insurance 

agents. The certificate is then used in 

conjunction with the flood insurance 

application so that the building can be 

properly rated for flood insurance. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households, Business or Other for 

Profit, Not-For-Profit Institutions, 

Farms, and State, local or tribal 

government.
