This
proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on November 14, 2019 at 84 FR
61922 with a 60 day public comment
period. FEMA received one comment.
The comment concerned the
requirement for schools or educational
facilities to provide proof of
accreditation or certification requested
on FEMA Form 009–0–49, Request for
Public Assistance. While the specific
citations in 44 CFR 206.221(a) are now
out of date, the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965
continues to have definitions for
elementary school (20 U.S.C. 7801(19))
and secondary school (20 U.S.C.
7801(45)) that define such schools as
providing elementary and secondary
education ‘‘as determined under state
law.’’ Government regulation of private
schools is limited. In general, the U.S.
Department of Education does not have
authority to regulate private elementary
and secondary schools or home schools.
If any regulation is made, it is usually
implemented at the State level and the
extent of such regulation varies. For
example, some States do not require
accreditation, and FEMA cannot require
formal accreditation where a State does
not. However, FEMA may require that
an applicant private nonprofit school
demonstrate that it meets the required
criteria for an educational institution
and facility under the Public Assistance
Program. This includes the requirement
for a private nonprofit school to
demonstrate that it meets the regulatory
requirements of education ‘‘as
determined under state law.’’ Likewise,
the Higher Education Act of 1965
continues to have a definition of
institution of higher education (20
U.S.C. 1001(a)) which has five criteria
that are aligned with the criteria in
Table 5 on page 132 of the Public
Assistance Program and Policy Guide.
FEMA continues to rely on the
definitions in these two acts, and we do
not believe that Congress, when they
reorganized these acts, intended to
eliminate FEMA’s longstanding
eligibility criteria.
The salary used to calculate the
Estimated Total Annual Cost to the
Federal Government has been updated
to reflect the 2020 Salary Table.
The purpose of this notice is to notify
the public that FEMA will submit the
information collection abstracted below

AGENCY:

The Federal Emergency
Management Agency, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public to take this opportunity
to comment on an extension with
changes to a currently approved
information collection. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, this notice seeks comments
concerning application for the National
Flood Insurance Program’s Community
Rating System program. This program
allows communities to become eligible
for discounts on the cost of flood
insurance when the communities
undertake activities to mitigate
anticipated damage due to flooding. The

Federal Emergency Management Agency
with the information necessary to
determine what flood insurance
premium discounts are appropriate for
participating communities.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill
Lesser, Program Specialist, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, (202) 646–2807. You
may contact the Information
Management Division for copies of the
proposed collection of information at
email address: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Flood Insurance Reform Act
(NFIRA) of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–325,
section 541) requires that a community
rating system be established. This
ratings system is a voluntary program
for communities and it would provide a
method by which flood mitigation
activities engaged in by these
communities could be measured. The
effect of this mitigation activity would
reduce the exposure of the communities
to damage resulting from flooding and
in turn reduce the losses incurred as a
result of this flooding. To encourage
participation, discounts on flood
insurance are offered within
communities that successfully complete
qualified mitigation actions, and the
community ratings system provides the
ability to measure these actions and to
recertify the communities in successive
years.
