SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 
Section 2(a)(6), 42 U.S.C. 4002(a)(6), Congress finds 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 to be indemnified for their losses in the event of 
future flood disasters. To this end, FEMA established and carries out a 
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which enables interested 
persons to purchase insurance against loss resulting from physical 
damage to or loss of real or personal property arising from any flood 
occurring in the United States. 42 U.S.C. 4011. In carrying out the 
NFIP, FEMA operates a call center in conjunction with the FloodSmart 
Web site (www.FloodSmart.gov). Together these methods of marketing and 
outreach provide the mechanism for current and potential policyholders 
to learn more about floods and flood insurance, contact an agent, or 
assess their risk. The information collected from callers/visitors is 
used to fulfill requests for published materials, email alerts, policy 
rates, and agent contact information.
    Additionally, FEMA and the NFIP offer Agents.FloodSmart.gov as a 
resource for agents. Upon Web site registration, agents can enroll in 
the Agent Referral Program to receive free leads through the consumer 
site or the call center as outlined above. This information collection 
seeks approval to continue collecting name, address and telephone 
number information from: (1) Business and residential property owners 
and renters who voluntarily call to request flood insurance information 
and possibly an insurance agent referral and, (2) insurance agents 
interested in enrolling in the agent referral service.
