Short Statement: This increase is due to an increase in the number of flood insurance applications being submitted to the NFIP Direct Servicing Agent, which are rated based on elevation data provided on the certificates. Since the Elevation Certificate and Floodproofing Certificate are submitted in conjunction with an application for flood insurance, more applications being submitted results in more Elevation Certificates and Floodproofing Certificates being submitted. The total number of responses for the Elevation Certificate has increased from 9,307 to 12,358 (+3,051 responses). The number of responses for the Floodproofing Certificate has decreased from 15 to 1 response.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $68,061
