SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) is authorized in Public Law 90– 

448 (1968) and expanded by Public Law 

93–234 (1973), and is codified as 42 

U.S.C. 4001, et seq. Public Law 103–325 

(1994) expands upon this and provides 

federally supported flood insurance for 

existing buildings exposed to flood risk. 

In accordance with Public Law 93–234, 

the purchase of flood insurance is 

mandatory when Federal or federally 

related financial assistance is being 

provided for acquisition of flood hazard 

areas of communities that are 

participating in the program. The 

Mortgage Portfolio Protection program 

(MPPP) is an option that companies 

participating in the NFIP can use to 

bring their mortgage loan portfolios into 

compliance with the flood insurance 

purchase requirements of the three 

public laws described previously. Title 

44 CFR 62.23(l)(1), with 44 CFR 

Appendix A to Part 62 implements the 

MPPP requirements for specific notices 

and other procedures that must be 

adhered to. Title 44 CFR 62.23(l)(2) 

indicates that Write-Your-Own (WYO) 

Companies participating in the MPPP 

must provide a detailed implementation 

package, known as the Mortgage 

Portfolio Protection Program Agreement, 

to any lending institutions that are 

requesting insurance coverage and the 

lender must acknowledge receipt. 

Collection of Information 

Title: National Flood Insurance 

Program—Mortgage Portfolio Protection 

Program (MPPP). 

Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

OMB Number: 1660–0086. 

Form Titles and Numbers: No Form. 

Abstract: A WYO Company that 

wishes to participate in the MPPP must 

review the information listed in the 

Mortgage Portfolio Protection Program 

Agreement and complete the 

acknowledgement either agreeing to 

participate in the MPPP or electing to 

continue under just the WYO 

guidelines. This acknowledgment is 

used to determine which WYO 

Companies will be writing insurance 

under the Mortgage Portfolio Protection 

Program and which ones choose only to 

sell flood insurance through the regular 

WYO Program. A lender wishing to 

obtain flood insurance through an MPPP 

participating insurance company must 

review the Financial Assistance/ 

Subsidy Arrangement and acknowledge 

the terms by signing the notice of 

acceptance provided with the 

Arrangement. This acceptance is used to 

verify that the lender understands the 

terms of the agreement so that they can 

properly apply for flood insurance. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 170.5 Hours.
