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.
