90–448) and expanded by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Pub. L.
93–234). The NFIA requires FEMA to
provide flood insurance at full actuarial
rates, reflecting the complete flood risk
to structures built or substantially
improved, on or after the effective date
for the initial Flood Insurance Rate Map
for the community, so that the risks
associated with buildings in flood-prone
areas are borne by those located in such
areas and not by taxpayers at large. In
accordance with the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, the purchase of
flood insurance is mandatory when
Federal or Federally-related financial
assistance is being provided for
acquisition or construction of buildings
located, or to be located, within FEMAidentified special flood hazard areas of
communities that participate in the
NFIP.
FEMA proposes minor revisions to
the existing paper forms completed by
licensed insurance agents and the
addition of a new electronic form that
property owners can complete online.
