Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions
OMB Control Number: 1660 - 0015
Title: Revisions to National Flood Insurance Program Maps: Application Forms and Instructions for (C)LOMAs and (C)LOMR-Fs
Form Number(s): FEMA Form 086-0-26; FEMA Form 086-0-26A; FEMA Form 086-0-26B; FEMA Form 086-0-22; FEMA Form 086-0-22A
A Supporting Statement, including the text of the notice to the public required by 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(i)(iv) and its actual or estimated date of publication in the Federal Register, must accompany each request for approval of a collection of information. The Supporting Statement must be prepared in the format described below, and must contain the information specified in Section A below. If an item is not applicable, provide a brief explanation. When Item 17 or the OMB Form 83-I is checked “Yes”, Section B of the Supporting Statement must be completed. OMB reserves the right to require the submission of additional information with respect to any request for approval.
Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary.
Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection. Attach a copy of the appropriate section of each statute and regulation mandating or authorizing the collection of information. Provide a detailed description of the nature and source of the information to be collected.
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq. (Public Law 90-448 (1968) and expanded by Public Law 93-234 (1973)). The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and maintains the maps that depict flood hazard information. The land area covered by the floodwaters of the base flood is the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) on NFIP maps. The SFHA is the area where the NFIP's floodplain management regulations must be enforced and the area where the mandatory purchase of flood insurance applies. If a SFHA has been determined to exist for property and the owner or lessee of the property believes his/her property has been incorrectly included in a SFHA, information can be provided to support removal of the SFHA designation. NFIP regulations 44 CFR 65 and 44 CFR 70 outline the data that must be submitted by an owner or lessee of property who believes his/her property has been incorrectly included in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). In order to remove an area from a SFHA, the owner or lessee of the property must submit scientific or technical data demonstrating that the area is “reasonably safe from flooding” and not in the SFHA.
2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used. Except for a new collection, indicate the actual use the agency has made of the information received from the current collection. Provide a detailed description of: how the information will be shared, if applicable, and for what programmatic purpose.
FEMA collects scientific and technical data submissions to determine whether a specific, single-lot property is located within or outside of a SFHA. If the property is determined not to be within a SFHA, FEMA provides a written determination and the appropriate map is modified by a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or a Letter of Map Revision – Based on Fill (LOMR-F). The owner or lessee of a property uses a LOMA or LOMR-F to show that a property is not flood prone, making it possible for the lending institution to waive the flood insurance requirement. If insurance is carried for the property, the new determination should result in significantly lower rates.
Below is a detailed explanation of how each form will be utilized:
FEMA Form 086-0-26, Property Information – This form describes the location of the property, what is being requested, whether or not fill has been placed on the property, and what data are required to support the request. The form also includes the contact information of the requestor.
FEMA Form 086-0-26A, Elevation – This form indicates what the Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood Elevation (BFE) for the property is, how the BFE was determined, the lowest ground elevation on the property, and/or the elevation of the lowest adjacent grade to any structures on the property. This information is required in order for FEMA to determine if the property that the requestor would like removed from the SFHA is at or above the BFE.
FEMA Form 086-0-26B, Community Acknowledgment – NFIP regulations 44 CFR §65.5(a)(4) require that a community official certify that the request complies with minimum floodplain management criteria specified in 44 CFR §60.3. For LOMR-F and CLOMR-F requests only Section A needs to be certified. A LOMR-F is a request for properties on which fill has been placed to elevate the land or structure to or above the BFE. A CLOMR-F is a request for FEMA’s comment on whether a proposed project involving the placement of fill would be excluded from the SFHA. For LOMA requests in which the property has been inadvertently included within the regulatory floodway, only Section B needs to be certified. This form ensures that this requirement is fulfilled prior to the submittal of the request to FEMA.
FEMA Form 086-0-22 and FEMA Form 086-0-22A (Spanish version), Application Form for Single Residential Lot or Structure Amendments to National Flood Insurance Program Maps, This form allows the owner or lessee of a single lot or structure to understand and prepare the data required to determine if the single lot or structure is located in the SFHA. The form describes the location of the property, what is being requested, and what data are required to support the request. The form also includes the contact information of the requestor.
3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information involves the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses, and the basis for the decision for adopting this means of collection. Also describe any consideration of using information technology to reduce burden.
FEMA Forms 086-0-22 and 086-0-22A are available on the Internet and can be downloaded from the website. The forms can be found at the following website address: https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/8001. The forms are provided in Adobe® Acrobat® PDF format and as Microsoft Word WinZip archives. Users are able to download the files and print completed forms manually and mail them to FEMA.
FEMA Forms 086-0-26, 086-0-26A and 086-0-26B are available on the Internet and can be downloaded from the website. The forms can be found at the following website address: https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/31858. The forms are provided in Adobe® Acrobat® PDF format and as Microsoft Word WinZip archives. Users are able to download the files and print completed forms manually and mail them to FEMA. Due to the various documents required to support the request, the completed forms, along with the supporting documentation are mailed back to FEMA.
Additionally, respondents may use FEMA’s Online LOMC tool to submit and track responses electronically as an alternative to filling out forms 086-0-22 (Page 1) and 086-0-26 and submitting to FEMA by mail. Additional forms and required supporting data must be uploaded via the Online LOMC tool. Respondents may access the Online LOMC tool at the following website address: https://hazards.fema.gov.
Effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps (FBFM), and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports that cover the area in which a particular property is located can be obtained from the Map Service Center (MSC) on the FEMA website at https://msc.fema.gov/portal. Those that do not have internet access can contact the Map Service Center at 800-358-9616.
Requestors can check on the status of their Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) request by visiting FEMA’s Mapping Information Platform website at https://hazards.fema.gov.
4. Describe efforts to identify duplication. Show specifically why any similar information already available cannot be used or modified for use for the purposes described in Item 2 above.
There are no duplicative efforts. Detailed information on specific property locations within communities, nationwide, is not collected or maintained by FEMA. Each request is unique and requires information that is specific to that property.
5. If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities (Item 5 of OMB Form 83-I), describe any methods used to minimize.
This information collection will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
6. Describe the consequence to Federal/FEMA program or policy activities if the collection of information is not conducted, or is conducted less frequently as well as any technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.
If the collection of information were not conducted, it would deprive individuals of the right to provide scientific or technical data to correct flood insurance maps that may be in error. If this information were not collected, the majority of respondents to this collection would continue to pay higher flood insurance premiums than would be necessary if they were to get a determination showing that their property was no longer in a Special Flood Hazard Area. If this were the case, local pressures would likely mount and cause a significant number of communities to reevaluate their decisions to continue their participation in the NFIP. Without this collection of information there would also be increased costs for mapping, since these requests would require physical revisions to the Flood Insurance Rate Maps.
7. Explain any special circumstances that would cause an information collection to be conducted in a manner:
Requiring respondents to report information to the agency more
often than quarterly.
There are no special circumstances for this collection that would require respondents to report information to the agency more often than quarterly.
(b) Requiring respondents to prepare a written response to a
collection of information in fewer than 30 days after receipt of it.
Under no circumstances are respondents required to prepare a written response to the collection of information in fewer than 30 days after receipt of it.
Requiring respondents to submit more than an original and two
copies of any document.
Respondents are only required to submit one copy of all documents.
Requiring respondents to retain records, other than health,
medical, government contract, grant-in-aid, or tax records for more than three years.
Respondents are not required to retain any records pertaining to this collection.
In connection with a statistical survey, that is not designed to
produce valid and reliable results that can be generalized to the universe of study.
This collection is not used in statistical surveys not designed to produce valid and reliable results that can be generalized to the universe of study.
(f) Requiring the use of a statistical data classification that has not
been reviewed and approved by OMB.
This collection does not require the use of a statistical data classification that has not been reviewed and approved by OMB.
(g) That includes a pledge of confidentiality that is not supported by
authority established in statute or regulation, that is not supported by disclosure and data security policies that are consistent with the pledge, or which unnecessarily impedes sharing of data with other agencies for compatible confidential use.
This collection does not include any pledges of confidentiality.
(h) Requiring respondents to submit proprietary trade secret, or other confidential information unless the agency can demonstrate that it has instituted procedures to protect the information’s confidentiality to the extent permitted by law.
This collection does not require respondents to submit confidential information.
8. Federal Register Notice:
a. Provide a copy and identify the date and page number of publication in the Federal Register of the agency’s notice soliciting comments on the information collection prior to submission to OMB. Summarize public comments received in response to that notice and describe actions taken by the agency in response to these comments. Specifically address comments received on cost and hour burden.
A 60-day Federal Register Notice inviting public comments was published on November 17, 2017, 82 FR 54402. FEMA received two anonymous public comments that were not relevant to the information collection. FEMA also received a public comment from Mr. Darren Gibson regarding his Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) case which FEMA has responded. See attached copy of the public comment included in this package.
A 30-day Federal Register Notice inviting public comments was published on February 12, 2018, 83 FR 6046. No comments were received. See attached copy of the published notice included in this package.
b. Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the agency to obtain their views on the availability of data, frequency of collection, the clarity of instructions and recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting format (if any), and on the data elements to be recorded, disclosed, or reported.
In preparation of the forms and instructions, FEMA’s MT-1 Processing Services Provider as well as the Production and Technical Services Contractors and Customer and Data Services Contractor were consulted regarding changes to the forms and instructions. No major changes to the forms and instructions are being implemented.
c. Describe consultations with representatives of those from whom information is to be obtained or those who must compile records. Consultation should occur at least once every three years, even if the collection of information activities is the same as in prior periods. There may be circumstances that may preclude consultation in a specific situation. These circumstances should be explained.
By the nature of the information collection activity, itself, consultation with those from whom information is to be obtained is continuous. These consultations are conducted on a daily basis by FEMA’s MT-1 Processing Services Provider. When requests are received from respondents (homeowners, surveyors, and engineers), comments are often included regarding the forms and instructions. The majority of the comments involve the clarity of instructions. In addition, FEMA’s website (https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html) includes an email address, in which respondents can provide comments regarding the forms and clarity of instructions.
9. Explain any decision to provide any payment or gift to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.
There are no payments or gifts provided to respondents.
10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents. Present the basis for the assurance in statute, regulation, or agency policy.
A Privacy Threshold Analysis (PTA) Form was approved by the DHS Privacy Office on December 30, 2014 and an updated PTA is being drafted.
The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is covered under the DHS/FEMA/PIA-045 – FEMA Hazard Mitigation Planning and Flood Mapping Products and Services Support Systems, approved by DHS on June 26, 2017. Additionally, the updated System of Records Notice (SORN) for this collection is DHS/FEMA-014 Hazard Mitigation Planning and Flood Mapping Products and Services Records System of Records which was published on October 25, 2017, 82 FR 49404.
There are no assurances of confidentiality provided to the respondents for this information collection.
11. Provide additional justification for any question of a sensitive nature (such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs and other matters that are commonly considered private). This justification should include the reasons why the agency considers the questions necessary, the specific uses to be made of the information, the explanation to be given to persons from whom the information is requested, and any steps to be taken to obtain their consent.
There are no questions of a sensitive nature required for this collection of information.
12. Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of information. The statement should:
a. Indicate the number of respondents, frequency of response, annual hour burden, and an explanation of how the burden was estimated for each collection instrument (separately list each instrument and describe information as requested). Unless directed to do so, agencies should not conduct special surveys to obtain information on which to base hour burden estimates. Consultation with a sample (fewer than 10) of potential respondents is desired. If the hour burden on respondents is expected to vary widely because of differences in activity, size, or complexity, show the range of estimated hour burden, and explain the reasons for the variance. Generally, estimates should not include burden hours for customary and usual business practices.
It is anticipated that 29,941 homeowners will complete FEMA Form 086-0-26. Each respondent will only complete the form once and each response will require 1.63 hours to complete the form. The total annual hour burden is 29,941 x 1.63 hours = 48,804 annual hours.
It is anticipated that 20,959 engineers will complete FEMA Form 086-0-26A. Each respondent will only complete the form once and each response will require 1.25 hours to complete the form. The total annual hour burden is 20,959 x 1.25 hours = 26,199 annual hours.
It is anticipated that 8,982 surveyors will complete FEMA Form 086-0-26A. Each respondent will only complete the form once and each response will require 1.25 hours to complete the form. The total annual hour burden is 8,982 x 1.25 hours = 11,228 annual hours.
It is anticipated that 3,736 community officials will complete FEMA Form 086-0-26B. Each respondent will only complete the form once and each response will require 1.38 hours to complete the form. The total annual hour burden is 3,736 x 1.38 hours = 5156 annual hours.
It is anticipated that 2,785 homeowners will undergo the tutorial. Each respondent will only complete the tutorial once and each action will require .5 hours to complete the tutorial. The total annual hour burden is 2,785 x .5 hours = 1,393 annual hours.
It is anticipated that FEMA Forms 086-0-22 and 086-0-22A will result in approximately 23,614 responses to this collection each year. The responses consist of one form that will require both the homeowner to complete a part and a surveyor or engineer to complete the remainder. Each form requires a total average of 2.4 hours to complete; 1.2 hours for the homeowner and 1.2 hours for the surveyor or engineer. The total annual hour burden is calculated to be 23,614 x 2.4 hours = 56,674 annual hours.
It is anticipated that 7,485 homeowners will use the Online LOMC tool. Each respondent will use the tool once which will require .17 hours to complete the user registration. The total annual hour burden is 7,485 x .17 hours = 1,272 annual hours.
b. If this request for approval covers more than one form, provide separate hour burden estimates for each form and aggregate the hour burdens in Item 13 of OMB Form 83-I.
c. Provide an estimate of annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens for collections of information, identifying and using appropriate wage rate categories. NOTE: The wage-rate category for each respondent must be multiplied by 1.46 and this total should be entered in the cell for “Avg. Hourly Wage Rate”. The cost to the respondents of contracting out or paying outside parties for information collection activities should not be included here. Instead this cost should be included in Item 13.

Note: The “Avg. Hourly Wage Rate” for each respondent includes a 1.46 multiplier to reflect a fully-loaded wage rate.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics website (https://www.bls.gov/oes/2016/may/oes_nat.htm) the wage rate category for All Occupations (Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 00-0000), representing all homeowners, is estimated to be ($23.86 x 1.46 =) $34.84 per hour including the wage rate multiplier, therefore, the estimated burden hour cost to respondents All Occupations is estimated to be (48,804 + 1,393 + 1,272 + 24,794 + 3,542 =) 79,805 hours x $34.84 = $2,780,406 annually.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics website (https://www.bls.gov/oes/2016/may/oes_nat.htm) the wage rate category for Surveyors (SOC 17-1020) is estimated to be ($30.52 x 1.46 =) $44.56 per hour including the wage rate multiplier, therefore, the estimated burden hour cost to respondents Surveyors is estimated to be (26,199 + 17,357 + 2,479 =) 46,035 hours x $44.56 = $2,051,320 annually.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics website (https://www.bls.gov/oes/2016/may/oes_nat.htm) the wage rate category for Civil Engineers (SOC 17-2051) is estimated to be ($43.14 x 1.46 =) $62.98 per hour including the wage rate multiplier, therefore, the estimated burden hour cost to respondents Civil Engineers is estimated to be (11,228 + 7,438 + 1,063 =) 19,729 hours x $62.98 = $1,242,532 annually.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics website (https://www.bls.gov/oes/2016/may/oes_nat.htm) the wage rate category for the Community Official (Management Occupations SOC 11-000) is estimated to be ($56.74 x 1.46 =) $82.84 per hour including the wage rate multiplier, therefore, the estimated burden hour cost to respondents Community Officials is estimated to be 5,156 hours x $82.84 = $427,123 annually.
13. Provide an estimate of the total annual cost burden to respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of information. The cost of purchasing or contracting out information collection services should be a part of this cost burden estimate. (Do not include the cost of any hour burden shown in Items 12 and 14.)

The property owner is required to hire a surveyor or engineer at an average cost of $450 to provide certified elevation data. The total cost for this is: FEMA Form 086-0-26 (29,941 * $450 = $13,473,450); FEMA Form 086-0-22 (20,662 * $450 = $9,297,900); FEMA Form 086-0-22A (2,952* $450 = $1,328,400) added together equals $24,099,750.
14. Provide estimates of annualized cost to the federal government. Also, provide a description of the method used to estimate cost, which should include quantification of hours, operational expenses (such as equipment, overhead, printing and support staff), and any other expense that would have been incurred without this collection of information. You may also aggregate cost estimates for Items 12, 13, and 14 in a single table.
