information collection abstracted below
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and clearance in
accordance with the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The
submission will describe the nature of
the information collection, the
categories of respondents, the estimated
burden (i.e., the time, effort and
resources used by respondents to
respond) and cost, and the actual data
collection instruments used.
DATES
: Comments must be submitted on
or before March 22, 2021.
ADDRESSES

recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: Congress
created the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) through enactment of
the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968 (NFIA) (Title XIII of Pub. L. 90–
448, 82 Stat. 476), found at 42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq. The NFIP is a Federal
program enabling property owners in
participating communities to purchase
insurance as a protection against flood
losses in exchange for state and
community floodplain management
requirements that reduce the risk of
future flood damages. Communities
participate in the NFIP based on an
agreement between the community and
FEMA. If a community adopts and
enforces a floodplain management
ordinance to reduce future flood risk to
new construction in floodplains, FEMA
will make flood insurance available
within the community as a financial
protection against flood losses.
Accordingly, the NFIP is comprised of
three key activities: Flood insurance,
floodplain management, and flood
hazard mapping.
As part of the minimum floodplain
management requirements established
by FEMA, NFIP participating
communities generally must require that
all new construction and substantial
improvements of residential structures
within areas identified by FEMA as
Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA)
Zones A1–30, AE and AH zones have
the lowest floor, including the
basement, elevated to or above the base
flood level. See 44 CFR 60.3(c)(2).
However, FEMA may grant exceptions
to this requirement to communities that
are not subject to tidal flooding, given
the communities adopt standards for
floodproofed residential basements
below the base flood. 44 CFR 60.6(c).
Communities requesting this exception
must demonstrate that ‘‘areas of special
flood hazard in which basements will be
permitted are subject to shallow and
low velocity flooding and that there is
adequate flood warning time to ensure
that all residents are notified of
impending floods.’’ 44 CFR 60.6(c)(1).
Communities seeking the exception
must also adopt certain floodplain
management measures regarding the
floodproofing of basements. See 44 CFR
60.6(c)(2). Such measures include that a
professional engineer or architect
inspect new or substantially improved
buildings with basements and ‘‘certify
that the basement design and methods
of construction proposed are in
accordance with accepted standards of
practice for meeting the [residential
basement floodproofing requirements].
44 CFR 60.6(c)(2)(iv). This proposed
information collection consists of the
‘‘Residential Basement Floodproofing
Certificate,’’ which is used to document
compliance with 44 CFR 60.6(c)(2)(iv).
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on April 7, 2020, at 85 FR
19496 with a 60-day public comment
period. FEMA received three comments
germane to this information collection
(FEMA–2020–0010–0004; FEMA–2020–
0010–0005; and FEMA–2020–0010–
0003). FEMA considers one comment
non-germane to the information
collection because it merely reads
‘‘Docket ID FEMA 2020–0010 OMB
1660–0033’’.
In the first germane comment, FEMA–
2020–0010–0004, the anonymous
commenter recommended that ‘‘[t]he
form should be updated/reviewed to
reflect/evaluate whether or not all or
any of the April 2020 Flood Insurance
Manual changes for floodproofing rating
credit apply; based on the Flood
Insurance Manual the updated guidance
appears to be specific to
nonresidential.’’ FEMA reviewed the
April 2020 Flood Insurance Manual
(available at https://go.usa.gov/xwGu2)
and found that it only reflected changes
to non-residential floodproofing
requirements. This information
collection applies only to residential
basement floodproofing requirements,
so FEMA finds no reason to adjust this
information collection based on changes
to the April 2020 Flood Insurance
Manual.
In the second germane comment,
FEMA–2020–0010–0005, the
anonymous commenter recommended
