Abstract: The CRS Application and
Certifications are used by communities
that participate in the National Flood
Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community
Rating System (CRS) to document
activities that communities have
undertaken to mitigate against future
flood losses. The CRS Application and
Certifications provide a step-by-step
process for communities to follow in
their efforts to achieve the maximum
amount of discount on flood insurance
premiums. CRS is a voluntary program
where flood insurance costs are reduced
in communities that implement
practices, such as building codes and
public education activities, that are
recognized as reducing risks of flooding
and promoting the purchase of flood
insurance.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,274.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 32,908 hours.
Estimated Cost: There are no
estimated operational, maintenance,
capital or start-up costs associated with
this information collection.
Dated: November 7, 2013.

Regional Analysis of Impediments
Guidance for Sustainable Communities
Grantees.
OMB Approval Number: N/A.
Type of Request: New Collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD’s
Office of Sustainable Housing and
Communities presently requires all
Sustainable Communities Initiative
(SCI) Regional Planning grantees to
complete a Fair Housing Equity
Assessment . The grantees each have the
option of choosing to develop a
Regional Analysis of Impediments (AI)
in lieu of the FHEA, which (if prepared
in accordance with the standards set
forth below and in the Fair Housing
Planning Guide) would fulfill the FHEA
requirement as well as the HUD AFFH
regulatory requirement for any
participating jurisdiction or state that
signed on. The option to prepare a
regional AI also offers SCI grantees an
opportunity to develop more
meaningful deliverables while
conserving resources and reducing
duplication. This guidance, a written
product reflecting the information
shared in the 2012 online webinars, will
assist grantees in structuring their fair
housing analyses.
Respondents: Sustainable
Communities Regional Planning
Grantees.
