Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden hour per response for FEMA Form 086-0-33 and FEMA From 086-0-34 has remained the same. However the burden hours for this collection increased from 24,649 to 34,950 hours, an adjustment increase of +10,301 hours. This increase is due to an increase in the number of flood insurance applications being submitted to the NFIP Direct Servicing Agent, which are rated based on elevation data provided on the certificates. Since the Elevation Certificate and Floodproofing Certificate are submitted in conjunction with an application for flood insurance, more applications being submitted results in more Elevation Certificates and Floodproofing Certificates being submitted. The total number of responses for the Elevation Certificate has increased from 6,560 to 9,307 (+2,747 responses). The number of responses for the Floodproofing Certificate has remained that same at 15 responses.
