Abstract: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) provides flood insurance to the communities that apply for participation and make a commitment to protect against future flood damages. The application form and supporting documentation will enable FEMA to continue to rapidly process new community applications and to thereby more quickly provide flood insurance protection to the residents in communities.

Short Statement: For FEMA Form FF-206-FY-22-160 (formerly 086-0-30), there has been no program changes; however, FEMA adjusted the annual number of respondents down from 60 to 45 based on the program’s data over the last 5 years, which means there are fewer local communities to enroll every year. This led to an overall decrease of 60 burden hours for the Application. FEMA also adjusted number of respondents for the Floodplain Development Documentation up from 22,600 to 22,747 as new communities have enrolled in the program. This adjustment led to increases in both the total number of responses and total annual burden hours. This results in a total increase of 1,764 burden hours for the Floodplain Development Documentation and an overall increase of 1,704 burden hours for the collection as a whole. The burden costs for this collection increased in line with the increase in burden hours and a slight increase in wage rates since the 2023 reinstatement. The fully loaded wage rate increased from $95.10 to $105.09.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $120,081
