29380 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 112 / Monday, June 10, 1996 / Notices

certain minimum requirements

intended to reduce future flood losses.

One such requirement is that the

community obtain the elevation of the

lowest flood (including basement) of all

new and substantially improved

structures, and maintain a record of all

such information. These data may be

generated and retained as part of the

community’s permit issuance and

building inspection processes. The

Elevation Certificate is one convenient

way for a community to comply with

this requirement. The Floodproofing

Certificate may similarly be used to

establish the required record in those

instances when floodproofing for nonresidential structures is a permitted

practice.

Title. Post Construction Elevation

Certificate/Floodproofing Certificate.

Type of Information Collection.

Extension.

OMB Number. 3067–0077.

Form Numbers. FEMA Form 81–31,

Elevation Certificate, FEMA Form 81–

65, Floodproofing Certificate for NonResidential Structures.

Abstract. The Elevation Certificate

and Floodproofing Certificate are

adjuncts to 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

publication of the FIRM, for flood

insurance in Special Flood Hazard

Areas. In addition, the Elevation

Certificate is also 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 information.

The certificates are supplied to

insurance agents, community officials,

surveyors, engineers, architects, and

NFIP policyholders/applicants. The

community officials or other

professionals provide the elevation data

required to document conformance with

floodplain management regulations and

for the applicants so that actuarial

insurance rates can be charged. The

elevation data is transmitted to the NFIP

by the insurance applicant or agent with

the appropriate NFIP policy forms.

The data is also used to assist FEMA

in measuring the effectiveness of the

NFIP regulations in eliminating or

decreasing damage caused by flooding

and the appropriateness of the NFIP

premium charges for insuring property

against the flood hazard.

Affected Public: Individuals and

households, Businesses or other forprofit, Not-for-profit institutions, Farms,

and State, local or tribal governments.
