information collection.
    Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form 086-0-35, Community Rating 
System Application Letter of Interest and Quick Check Instructions; 
FEMA Form 086-0-35A, Community Annual Recertification; and FEMA Form

communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program's

communities have undertaken to mitigate against future flood losses. 
The CRS Application and Certifications provide a step-by-step process 
for communities to follow in their efforts 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, that are recognized as reducing risks of flooding and 
promoting the purchase of flood insurance.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,274.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 32,908 hours.
    Estimated Cost: There are no estimated operational, maintenance, 
capital or start-up costs associated with this information collection.
