insurance rates for policyholder within a CRS eligible community. Additionally, FEMA uses the

Program
The information requested on this form may be shared externally with floodplain management
partners and contractors to assist the Department of Homeland Security in administering the CRS
or other floodplain management activities.
The disclosure of information on this form is voluntary; however, failure to provide the
information requested may result in FEMA’s determination that a community is not eligible to
participate in the CRS and in turn reducing potential NFIP flood insurance premium savings.
