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:*
