communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program's

communities have undertaken to mitigate against future flood losses. 
The CRS application and activity worksheets provide a step-by-step 
process for communities to follow in their effort to achieve the 
maximum amount of discount on flood insurance premiums. CRS is a 
voluntary program where flood insurance costs are reduced in 
communities that implement practices, such as building codes and public 
education activities, which are considered to reduce risks of flooding 
and promote purchase of flood insurance.
    Affected Public: State, local, or Tribal Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,100.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Average Hour Burden per Respondent: 7.6818 Hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 8,450 Hours.
    Estimated Cost: There are no estimated operational, maintenance, 
capital or start-up costs associated with this collection.
