The certification forms are designed
to assist requesters in gathering information that FEMA needs to
revise a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map. This data is
required to ensure that requested revisions are in compliance with
NFIP regulations. These revisions are granted if the technical
information submitted demonstrates that the prior determination of
a Special Flood Hazard Area, floodway or Base Flood Elevation on a
flood map is no longer valid.

For FEMA Forms 086-0-27,
086-0-27A and 086-0-27B, there is a reduction in the annual hour
burden for each form due to less new developments being planned or
built in areas where these forms would be required. For FEMA Form
086-0-27, the current annual hour burden is 1,680 hours, the new
hours burden is 1,500 for a decrease of 180 annual hour burden. For
FEMA Form 086-0-27, the current annual hour burden is 5,880 hours,
the new hours burden is 5,250 for a decrease of 630 annual hour
burden. For FEMA Form 086-0-27, the current annual hour burden is
11,760 hours, the new hours burden is 10,500 for a decrease of
1,260 annual hour burden. For FEMA Forms 086-0-27C, 086-0-27D, and
086-0-27E, the previous estimated annual hour burden assumed these
forms to be completed by all respondents. The actual number of
forms returned is lower due to the limited requests received from
coastal area development. For FEMA Forms 086-0-27C, 086-0-27D and
086-0-27E, the current annual hour burden is 1,680 hours, the new
hours burden is 150 for a decrease of 1,530 hours for each
form.
