Explain:

FEMA Form 086-0-24 – The revision of the information statements and certification statements, as requested, does not add to the hour burden because it does not change the information already available to or determined by the engineer or architect in the course of completing the certificate. The changes are to make clear what the elements being certified are according to the existing industry standards.
