When an application for flood
insurance is submitted for buildings located in Coastal Barrier
Resources System (CBRS) communities, one of the following types of
documentation must be submitted as evidence of eligibility: a)
Certification from a community official stating the building is not
located in a designated CBRS area; b) A legally valid building
permit or certification from a community official stating that the
start date of a building's construction preceded the date that the
community was identified in the CBRS; or c) Certification from the
governmental body overseeing the area indicating that the building
is used in a manner consistent with the purpose for which the area
is protected.

FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map,
Legally Valid Building Permit, and Written and Signed Statement
from a Community Official - The burden hour figures represents all
applicants for flood insurance in CBRS communities that submitted
CBRA-related documentation either along with their original flood
insurance application or in response to a request from the NFIP DSA
for additional information. The decrease in the burden hours is the
result of fewer applications for flood insurance requiring CBRA/OPA
documentation being received in the past 12 months reported. There
was no change in the program or the documentation
requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
