SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) 
is authorized by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 
42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 
administers the NFIP and maintains the maps that depict flood hazard 
information. In 44 CFR 65.3, communities are required to submit 
technical information concerning flood hazards and plans to avoid 
potential flood hazards when physical changes occur. In 44 CFR 65.4, 
communities are provided the right to submit technical information when 
inconsistencies on maps are identified. In order to revise the Base (l-
percent annual chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs), Special Flood Hazard 
Areas (SFHAs), and floodways presented on the NFIP maps, a community 
must submit scientific or technical data demonstrating the need for a 
revision. The NFIP regulations cited in 44 CFR part 65 outline the data 
that must be submitted for these requests. This collection serves to 
provide a standard format for the general information requirements 
outlined in the NFIP regulations, and helps establish an organized 
package of the data needed to revise NFIP maps.

Collection of Information

    Title: Revision to National Flood Insurance Program Maps: 
Application Forms and Instructions for LOMRs and CLOMRs.
    Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved 
information collection.

determine if the collected data will result in the modification of a 
BFE, a SFHA, or a floodway. Once the information is collected, it is

mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements, and insurance agents

services include scoping, surveying cross-sections, developing 
hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, and preparing work maps and reports
