(NFIP) is authorized by the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (title XIII
of Pub. L. 90–448, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 4001 et seq.). The general
purpose of the NFIP is to create a
voluntary program of flood insurance
that can promote the public interest by
providing appropriate protection against
the perils of flood losses and
encouraging sound land use by
minimizing exposure of property to
flood losses; and integrate the objectives
of a flood insurance program.
Nationally, as of December 2021, over
22,000 communities in 56 states and
jurisdictions participate in the NFIP.
Each ‘‘eligible or participating
community,’’ shall legislatively (1)
Appoint or designate the agency or
official with the responsibility,
authority, and means to implement the
commitments of application to the
National Flood Insurance Program and
(2) Designate the official responsible to
submit a report to the Federal Insurance
Administrator concerning the
community participation in the
Program, including, but not limited to
the development and implementation of
flood plain management regulations. It
is common for eligible and participating
communities to assign the FPA role to
employees who are also simultaneously
responsible for other roles such as
Police Chief, Town Clerk, Grants
Manager, Finance Manager. FPAs are a
diverse group with varied socioeconomic backgrounds, needs,
challenges, abilities, schedules, learning
styles, geographies, and resources. A
Training Strategy is needed to direct
FEMA’s limited FPA Training budget
into training solutions that address the
unique needs of FPAs as well as their
varied socio-economic backgrounds,
challenges, abilities, schedules, learning
styles, geographies, and resources to
advance equity, professional
development, and retention of FPAs. To
be effective, the FPA Training Strategy
must be grounded in an accurate
understanding FPAs’ varied socioeconomic backgrounds, needs,
challenges, abilities, schedules, learning
styles, geographies, and resources. To
achieve this understanding, a Training
Needs Assessment must be performed.
This data has not been collected
previously.
FEMA is requesting a three-year
clearance to collect information from
FPAs regarding their training needs,
floodplain management experiences,
and demographics to produce improved
outcomes for the NFIP. The data will be
used to help FEMA, State, Tribal, and
Territorial NFIP Offices, and Floodplain
Associations to develop equitable

training strategies and solutions that
effectively and efficiently address the
diverse abilities, schedules, learning
styles, geographies and resources of
FPAs who implement this Federal
Government program on behalf of their
local communities. The information
collection, to be administered by an
independent, third-party research
organization, will allow for a datainformed approach to understanding the
needs and expectations of an important
and specific group of FEMA partners
and customers for their development
and program administration. By using
this approach, FEMA will be able to
gain important insights about FPAs and
how to improve its offerings and
support as well as to allocate resources
more effectively. The ultimate objective
is to reduce the socio-economic impact
of floods through better preparation of
FPAs to assist communities adopt and
enforce floodplain management
regulations that help mitigate flooding
effects and thus support property
owners, renters, and businesses to
recover faster after a flooding event.
The primary law that supports the
information collection efforts is the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993, 31 U.S.C. 1116, which has
as one of its purposes ‘‘improve Federal
programs effectiveness and public
accountability by promoting a new
focus on results, service quality, and
customer satisfaction.’’
