Abstract: The appeals process requires owners to submit a written appeal including any supporting documentation for an appeal to FEMA within 90 days of the notice of an insurance increase. Much of the supporting documentation has already been submitted in the original application for grant funds. The property owner may submit any additional documentation that will support an appeal. The appeals process will provide six (6) bases for an appeal, each with is own requirements for information.

Emergency Justfication: This is a new information collection. This collection will include burden hours for the authorized Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) grant program. The Interim Final Rule for SRL (1660-AA36) was published in the Federal Register On October 31, 2007, volume 72, number 210, Pages 61720-61750.
