Floodplain Management Division,
Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, FEMA at Sarah.Owen@
fema.dhs.gov or (510) 409–4818. 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 Program
(NFIP) codified as 42 U.S.C. 4001, et
seq. is authorized by Public Law 90–448
(1968) and expanded by Public Law 93–
234 (1973). The Department of
Homeland Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA)
administers the NFIP. The NFIP’s major
objective is to assure that participating
communities are achieving the flood
loss reduction objectives through
adoption and enforcement of adequate
land use and control measures. Sections
1315 and 1361 provide the basis for
FEMA’s process to evaluate how well
communities are implementing their
floodplain management programs. Title
44 CFR 59.22 directs the respondent to
submit evidence of the corrective and
preventive measures taken to meet the
flood loss reduction objectives.
The two key methods FEMA uses in
determining community assistance
needs are through the Community
Assistance Contact (CAC) and
Community Assistance Visit (CAV),
which serve to provide a systematic
means of monitoring community NFIP
compliance. Through the CAC and CAV,
FEMA can also determine to what
extent communities are achieving the
flood loss reduction objectives of the
NFIP. By providing assistance to
communities, the CAC and CAV also
serve to enhance FEMA’s goals of
reducing future flood losses, thereby
achieving the NFIP’s cost-containment
objective. The burden hours and costs
associated with this collection were reevaluated which led to the main
revision in this extension request.
Collection of Information
Title: Community Assistance Contact
(CAC) and Community Assistance Visits
(CAV) Reports.

requests electronically through the
Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://
www.regulations.gov. HUD strongly
encourages commenters to submit
comments or reevaluation requests
electronically. Electronic submission of
comments or reevaluation requests
allows the author maximum time to
prepare and submit a comment or
reevaluation request, ensures timely
receipt by HUD, and enables HUD to
make them immediately available to the
public. Comments or reevaluation
requests submitted electronically
through the https://www.regulations.gov
website can be viewed by other
submitters and interested members of
the public. Commenters or reevaluation
requestors should follow instructions
provided on that site to submit
comments or reevaluation requests
electronically.
2. Submission of Comments by Mail.
Members of the public may submit

by mail to the Regulations Division,
Office of General Counsel, Department
of Housing and Urban Development,
451 7th Street SW, Room 10276,
Washington, DC 20410–0500. Due to
security measures at all federal agencies,
however, submission of comments by
standard mail often results in delayed
delivery. To ensure timely receipt of
comments or reevaluation requests,
HUD recommends that comments or
requests submitted by standard mail be
submitted at least two weeks in advance
of the deadline. HUD will make all
comments or reevaluation requests
received by mail available to the public
at https://www.regulations.gov.
Note: To receive consideration as public
comments or reevaluation requests,
comments or requests must be submitted
through one of the two methods specified
above. Again, all submissions must refer to

I. Background
Section 8 of the USHA (42 U.S.C.
1437f) authorizes housing assistance to
aid lower-income families in renting
safe and decent housing. Housing
assistance payments are limited by
FMRs established by HUD for different
geographic areas. In the Housing Choice
Voucher (HCV) program, the FMR is the
basis for determining the ‘‘payment
standard amount’’ used to calculate the
maximum monthly subsidy for an
assisted family. See 24 CFR 982.503.
HUD also uses the FMRs to determine
initial renewal rents for some expiring
