Comment Request 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice; 60-day notice and 

request for comments; Reinstatement, 

with change, of a previously approved 

collection for which approval has 

expired, OMB Number 1660–0059, 

FEMA Form 517–1, FEMA Form 512–1. 

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 a 

reinstatement of an information 

collection. In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice seeks comments concerning this 

information collection that allows the 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) to facilitate the availability of 

flood insurance to those who have a 

need to purchase such. The NFIP will 

collect information from insurance 

agents who will offer the ability to 

purchase flood insurance as well as 

from those interested in purchasing the 

insurance policies so as to offer referral 

information on how the coverage may 

be obtained. If the information 

collection were not performed, the 

ability to offer respondents the 

resources available by the NFIP would 

be adversely affected. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

administers the National Flood 

Insurance Program (NFIP) in response to 

losses due to floods. The Flood Disaster 

Protection Act of 1973, Congress 

Findings and Declaration of Purpose, 

Section 2(a)(6) finds that it is in the 

public interest for persons already living 

in flood prone areas to have an 

opportunity to purchase flood insurance 

and access to more adequate limits of 

coverage in order to be indemnified for 

their losses in the event of future flood 

disasters. This collection will allow for 

consumers to be educated about flood 

insurance coverage and to assist them in 

obtaining such coverage.
