PRINCIPAL PURPOSE(S)
This information is being collected for two primary purposes. First, for community use in documenting compliance with floodplain
management ordinances, where records are maintained by the community. Second, for flood insurance purposes of estimating the risk
premium rates necessary to provide flood insurance for new or substantially improved structures in designated Special Flood Hazard Areas.
Records are located at the facility that underwrites and administers the policy (Write Your Own (WYO) companies or the Federal Emergency
Management Agency's (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Direct).
ROUTINE USE(S)
When this form is maintained by FEMA and is used in conjunction with the application and maintenance of a flood insurance policy, the
information requested on this form may be shared externally as a “routine use” to authorized WYO companies receiving transferred policies,
to assist the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/FEMA in estimating the risk premium rates necessary to provide flood insurance for
new or substantially improved structures in designated Special Flood Hazard Areas. A complete list of the routine uses can be found in the
system of records notice associated with this form, “DHS/FEMA-003 - National Flood Insurance Program Files 79 Fed. Reg. 28,747 (May 19,
2014); and upon written request, written consent, by agreement, or as required by law. The Department's full list of system of records notices
can be found on the Department's website at http://www.dhs.gov/system-records-notices-sorns.
DISCLOSURE
The disclosure of information on this form is voluntary; however, failure to provide the information requested may result in the inability to
obtain flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program, or the building being subject to higher premium rates for flood
insurance. Information will only be released as permitted by law.

elevation with walls that are impermeable to the passage of water without human intervention; and
