Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request; Revision to National Flood Insurance Program Maps: 
Application Forms and Instructions for LOMRs and CLOMRs

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites 
the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity 
to comment on a reinstatement without change, of a previously approved 
information collection for which approval has expired. In accordance 
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks comments 
concerning information required by FEMA to revise National Flood 
Insurance Program Maps.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 24, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the proposed information 
collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office 
of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to the Desk 
Officer for the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency 
Management Agency, and sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the information collection should be made to Director, 
Records Management Division, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, 
email address [email protected] or 
Brian Koper, Emergency Management Specialist, Federal Insurance and 
Mitigation Administration, DHS/FEMA, 202-646-3085.

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.
    This proposed information collection previously published in the 
Federal Register on May 9, 2017 at 82 FR 21547 with a 60-day public 
comment period. No comments were received. This information collection 
expired on May 31, 2017. FEMA is requesting a reinstatement, without 
change, of a previously approved information collection for which 
approval has expired. The purpose of this notice is to notify the 
public that FEMA will submit the information collection abstracted 
below to the Office of Management and Budget for review and clearance.

    Title: Revision to National Flood Insurance Program Maps: 
Application Forms and Instructions for LOMRs and CLOMRs.
