The following are the changes to the collection:


FEMA Form 086-0-30 has not changed; however, the decision was made to include the burden hours that are imposed by FEMA on the NFIP participating communities to review, collect, and maintain floodplain development permits, which were termed “community development permits.” This is to account for burden hours associated with the community development application process (Floodplain Development Documentation).

Explain:


For FEMA Form 086-0-30, there has been no change. However, FEMA estimates communities participating in the NFIP spend an additional 2.5 hours, on average, reviewing, processing filing and maintaining Floodplain Development Documentation. Burden hour increase is to reflect the number of burden hours associated with the community development application. The time spent on these activities varies based on the complexity of the project the community development application is being filed for. An increase in the annual burden hours is reflected above as a result of this previously unreported data collection activity, and will be reflected in subsequent fiscal years.
