Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) (codified at 42 U.S.C. 4001, et seq.), 
and a major objective of the NFIP is to assure that participating 
communities are achieving the flood loss reduction objectives through 
implementation and enforcement of adequate land use and control 
measures. FEMA's authority to collect information that will allow for 
the evaluation of how well communities are implementing their 
floodplain management programs is found at 42 U.S.C. 4022 and 42 U.S.C. 
4102. Title 44 CFR 59.22 directs the respondent to submit evidence of 
the corrective and preventive measures taken to meet the flood loss 
reduction objectives.
