Abstract:
Regarding the MPPP, FEMA needs the information to ensure that private insurance companies that join the NFIP's WYO Program meet all state and Federal requirements for insurance companies. Requirements include a good business record and satisfactory rating in their field. There is no other way to obtain this information because it is specific to each company that applies to join the NFIP. Regarding the Ask the Advocate Web Form, the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 requires FEMA to designate a Flood Insurance Advocate that would advocate for the fair treatment of NFIP policyholders and property owners. Pursuant to this authority, FEMA established OFIA on December 22, 2014. Members of the public regularly contact OFIA seeking assistance on the NFIP. OFIA seeks to facilitate the timely and effective management of these inquiries through a web form on OFIA’s web page. The web form will allow users to provide information that includes all the data necessary for OFIA to fulfill its duties and responsibilities.
