khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES

• Commenters should provide
specific national-level data that
document the costs, burdens, and
benefits of potentially new requirements
to the extent they are available.
Commenters might also address how
FEMA can best obtain and consider
accurate, objective information and data
about the costs, burdens, and benefits of
the interim policy and whether there are
existing sources of data that FEMA can
use to evaluate the effects of the interim
policy over time.
• Commenters should identify with
specificity administrative burdens,
program requirements, information
collection burdens, waiting time, or
unnecessary complexity that may
impose unjustified barriers in general,
or that may have adverse effects on
equity for all, including those in
disadvantaged communities.
• Commenters should provide the
number of the question(s) being
answered in the commenter’s response
(e.g. In response to question #5 . . . ).
IV. Specific Information Requested
FEMA seeks comment on the interim
policy, specifically on:
1. How will the activities incentivized
through the interim policy increase
resilience or decrease future risk? Please
explain.
2. Will there be specific challenges
faced by disadvantaged communities in
meeting the requirements of the interim
policy? In particular, will disadvantaged
communities have challenges in
adopting the building or energy codes
necessary for the 10% increase in cost
share? Please explain.
3. Are the incentives outlined in the
policy sufficient to encourage additional
investment or activity that would not
have otherwise occurred? Why or why
not?
4. Are there alternative measures that
FEMA should consider incentivizing
through the policy that would help to
achieve greater readiness and resilience
to future disasters? Some examples are
outlined in the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2018, which authorized FEMA to
provide the cost share incentives under
the PA program, including: adoption of
a mitigation plan, participation in the
community rating system, and making
investments in disaster relief, insurance,
and emergency management programs.
Please comment on those examples and/
or provide additional examples.
5. Are there ways to make the interim
policy more accessible or to decrease
public burden in its implementation?
Please provide examples.
Based on the comments received,
FEMA may make appropriate revisions
to the interim policy. When or if FEMA

Abstract: This 60-day notice is a
renewal, with revisions, for the
Hydrography Addressing Tool
(HydroAdd), a website developed by the
USGS National Geospatial Program,
National Geospatial Technical
Operations Center (NGTOC).
HydroAdd supports users by
providing a mechanism for addressing
(or referencing) diverse external datasets
to the National Hydrography Dataset
(NHD). For example, a user can utilize
HydroAdd to reference the geographic
locations of field observations of fish
presence to the NHD. HydroAdd
provides a framework for the
management of addressed data and
enables upstream and downstream
analyses within the context of the
stream network. Any type of
information can be addressed to the
stream network, making this tool highly
useful for a broad range of purposes that
benefit the Nation.
HydroAdd users are members of the
public in State and local government,
the private sector, academia, or are other
users with basic knowledge of GIS. To
use HydroAdd, users must first share
their geospatial data as a hosted web
feature service from ArcGIS Online.
HydroAdd displays the user’s data as a
web feature service in the browser
window. Users can then utilize
HydroAdd to address their data to the
