FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), 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 new, revised, or 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 
proposed extension of an existing information collection, which expires 
June 30, 1996.
    Title. Make Your Mark on the Floodplain--High Water Mark Form.
    Type of Information Collection. Extension.
    OMB Number: 3067-0268
    FEMA Form Title. High Water Mark.
    Abstract. The Make Your Mark on the Floodplain handout and 
accompanying High Water Mark form is used to establish uniform and 
consistent methodologies for setting and recovering high water marks 
following a significant flood event. After a major flood, anyone who 
has high water marks on their property or observed flood marks on 
public property can use the form to record high water mark information, 
including location, measurements, and description of the marks read. 
The data will be used by FEMA in post-flood damage assessments since 
the data will define a frequency/damage relationship for the flooding 
event and provide calibration information for future analysis. The U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers will assist FEMA in collecting and compiling 
high water mark data.
    Affected Public. Individuals and households, business or other for 
profit, Non-profit institutions, Farms, and State, local or tribal 
governments.
    Number of Respondents. 7,500.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours. 2,500.
    Estimated Time Per Response. 20 minutes.

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.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons should submit written comments to Muriel 
B. Anderson, FEMA Information Collections Officer, Federal Emergency 
Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW, Room 311, Washington, DC 20472. 
Telephone number (202) 646-2625. FAX number (202) 646-3524.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the proposed information collection should be made to Ms. 
Anderson at the address or telephone number provided under ADDRESSES.
