The application/certification forms (referred to as MT-2 series forms) are designed to assist requesters in gathering information that FEMA needs to determine whether a certain property is likely to be flooded during a flood event that has a 1 percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood).
The total number of respondents for this collection has changed to 1,680 and the total annual number of responses 10,080. Although the mix of complexity of a determination request has been stable over the years, there is no way of predicting with absolute certainty the number of determinations that will be requested in a given year.
The total burden hours increased from 20,880 to 24,360 (+3480) hours. This increase is due to increase in the number of respondents for this collection. This has caused a program adjustment of +3480 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
