Title: NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM ANNUAL REPORT
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 11/03/1983

Terms of Clearance: FEMA has recently reorganized and a new office has assumed responsbility for this report. According to FEMA, this is the only comprehensive reporting requirement imposed on communities participating in the flood insurance problem. While some reporting requirement is probably justified, the non FEMA office was unable to demonstrate that the particular information collected is useful. FEMA agreed to review the requirement in light of programmatic and management requirements. FEMA has reduced frequency from an annual to biennial requirement and it will be next sent to communities in December 1984. A burden of one hour is approved to keep report in OMB inventory. Upon resubmission, FEMA should also be prepared to address the following issues. (1) The last report was distributed in December 1982. As of November 1, 1983 FEMA had not yet completed analyzing data. Part of the problem was slow responses. However, the FEMA computer center has been unable to process the data in a timely fashion. (2) Response is not mandatory - only 75% - 80% of reports are returned. It is not clear how important data is. (3) FEMA indicates that one of the reasons for report is to identify communities who need help or information. FEMA headquarters provides this information to the regional office, but does not check to see if there is any follow-thru.
