SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) promotes and implements sound
local floodplain management.
Communities must adopt minimum
floodplain management standards in
order to participate in the NFIP and
receive the benefits of flood insurance.
The Community Rating System (CRS),
codified in the National Flood Insurance
Reform Act (NFIRA) of 1994 (Pub. L.
103–325, Sec. 541.) was designed by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) to encourage communities to
undertake activities that will mitigate
flooding and flood damage beyond the
minimum standards for NFIP
participation. The CRS Program ‘‘CRS
Coordinator’s Manual’’ is the key
primary explanatory document used by
CRS communities. It provides detailed
explanations of the program and its
activities respondents (communities)
will select activities to apply for and
receive credit and community
certifications so that proper credit is
applied for each. Communities that
receive these credits become eligible for
flood insurance premium discounts.

Abstract: The CRS Application
Worksheet and Commentary are used by
communities that participate in the
National Flood Insurance Program’s
(NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS)
to document the activities that
communities have undertaken to
mitigate against future flood losses. The
CRS Application Worksheet and
Commentary provide a step-by-step
process for communities to follow in
their effort to achieve the maximum
amount of discount on flood insurance
premiums. Community participation in
CRS allows flood insurance costs to be
reduced as a result of implementing
floodplain management practices, such
as building codes and public education
activities. These practices reduce risks
of flooding and promote purchase of
flood insurance.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,274.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 16,748.
Estimated Cost: There are no
recordkeeping, capital, start-up or
maintenance costs associated with this
information collection.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Comments: Written comments are
solicited to (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed data collection is necessary for
the proper performance of the agency,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed information
collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. Submit
comments to OMB within 30 days of the
date of this notice. To ensure that FEMA
is fully aware of any comments or
concerns that you share with OMB,

comments. FEMA will continue to
accept comments from interested
persons through January 28, 2013.

Notice of Neighborhood Stabilization
Program; Closeout Requirements and
Recapture
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and
Development, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

This notice describes closeout
requirements that apply to and
additional regulations waived for
grantees receiving grants under the three
rounds of funding under the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program.
DATES: Effective Date: November 27,
2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Program Background and Purpose
The Neighborhood Stabilization
Program (or NSP) was established by the
Housing and Economic Recovery Act of
2008 (HERA) (Pub. L. 110–289,
approved July 30, 2008), specifically
Division B, Title III of HERA, for the
purpose of stabilizing communities that
have suffered from foreclosures and
abandonment. As established by HERA,
NSP provided grants to all states and
selected local governments on a formula
basis.
The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery
Act) (Pub. L. 111–5, approved February
17, 2009) authorized additional NSP
grants to be awarded to states, local
governments, nonprofits and a

PO 00000

Frm 00063

Sfmt 4703

70799

consortium of nonprofit entities, but on
a competitive basis. The Recovery Act
also authorized funding for national and
local technical assistance providers to
support NSP grantees.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (DoddFrank Act) (Pub. L. 111–203, approved
July 21, 2010) authorized a third round
of Neighborhood Stabilization grants to
all states and select governments on a
formula basis.
The purpose of the funds awarded
under the three rounds of NSP is to
target the stabilization of neighborhoods
negatively affected by properties that
have been foreclosed upon and
abandoned. The notice, Notice of
Formula Allocations and Program
Requirements for Neighborhood
Stabilization Program Formula Grants,
published October 19, 2010 (75 FR
64322) (‘‘Unified NSP Notice’’) provides
further background for these programs,
the program principles, and the
objectives and outcomes of the NSP
program. In addition, the Notice of Fund
Availability (NOFA) for the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2
under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, 2009, 74 FR 21377
(May 7, 2009), as amended by
subsequent notices (‘‘NSP2 NOFA’’),
includes requirements specific to the
competitive round of funding under the
Recovery Act.
The primary purpose of this notice is
to revise requirements set forth in the
Unified NSP Notice to provide the grant
closeout framework for all three rounds
of NSP by minimally adjusting the
Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) closeout requirements (24 CFR
570.509). Following publication of this
notice, HUD will update issued CDBG
closeout guidance (CPD Notice 12–0004)
to incorporate specific operating
instructions for closeout of NSP grants.
These instructions will create an NSP
closeout process that is nearly identical
to the CDBG closeout process and place
both sets of instructions in a single
document. This approach takes
advantage of NSP grantee (and HUD
field staff) familiarity with the CDBG
closeout procedures because, by the
time of grant closeout, almost every NSP
grantee will have completed closeout of
a CDBG Recovery Act grant.
Since this notice applies to grantees
receiving grants under the three rounds
of funding under the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program, the terms NSP1,
NSP2 or NSP3 are used to describe each
of the three funding rounds. When
referring to the grants, grantees, assisted
activities, and implementation rules
under HERA, this notice will use the
term ‘‘NSP1.’’ When referring to the
