SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Collection of Information

    Title: Revisions to National Flood Insurance Program Maps: 
Application Forms and Instructions for (C)LOMAs and (C)LOMR-Fs.
    Type of information collection: Revision of a currently approved 
information collection.
    Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form 086-0-26, Property Information; 
FEMA Form 086-0-26A, Elevation Form; FEMA Form 086-0-26B, Community 
Acknowledgement Form; FEMA Form 086-0-22 and FEMA Form 086-0-22A 
(Spanish), Application Form for Single Residential Lot or Structure 
Amendments to National Flood Insurance Program Maps.
    Abstract: FEMA collects scientific and technical data submissions 
to determine whether a specific, single-lot property is located within 
or outside of a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). If the property is 
determined not to be within a SFHA, FEMA provides a written 
determination and the appropriate map is modified by a Letter of Map 
Amendment (LOMA) or a Letter of Map Revision--Based on Fill (LOMR-F). 
The owner or lessee of a property uses a LOMA or LOMR-F to show that a 
property is not located within the SFHA, making it possible for the 
lending institution to waive the flood insurance requirement. If the 
policyholder decides to maintain insurance on the property, the new 
determination should result in lower rates.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households; and Business or Other 
for-Profit Institutes.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 97,503.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 150,725.
    Estimated Cost: The property owner is required to hire a surveyor 
or engineer at an average cost of $450 to provide certified elevation 
data. Therefore the total annual cost burden to respondents is 
estimated to be $47,465,100.

    Dated: February 28, 2014.

Director, Records Management Division, Mission Support Bureau, Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland Security.
