Short Statement: For FEMA Form 086-0-30, there has been no change. However, FEMA estimates communities participating in the NFIP spend an additional 2.5 hours, on average, reviewing, processing filing and maintaining Floodplain Development Documentation. The time spent on these activities varies based on the complexity of the project the community development application is being filed for. An increase in the annual burden hours is reflected as a result of this previously unreported data collection activity, and will be reflected in subsequent fiscal years.
