SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites 
the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity 
to comment on proposed new, revised, or continuing information 
collections. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice seeks comments concerning the 
proposed extension to an existing information collection previously 
approved and assigned OMB Control Number 3067-0195. The current 
approval expires April 30, 1996. There are two information collections 
associated with this clearance package. There are no changes in burden 
estimates for either of the information collections.

Worksheets and Commentary.

collection.
    Abstract: The Community Rating System (CRS) was designed by the 
Federal Insurance Administration to encourage, through the use of flood 
insurance premium discounts, communities and States to undertake 
activities that will mitigate flooding and flood damage beyond the 
minimum standards for National Flood Insurance Program participation. 
Communities use the NFIP/CRS Coordinator's Manual which includes the 
schedule, commentary and application worksheets. The application 
worksheets, requisite documentation, and certification are submitted to 
the appropriate FEMA Regional Office. The NFIP Repetitive Loss 
Correction Worksheet is used to correct/update property location/
address, dates of loss, total number of losses per property, community 
name community number, and reason for change.
    Affected Public: State, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 255.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 33 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden and Recordkeeping Hours: 8,425.

updates regarding participation.

COMMENTS: Written comments are solicited to (a) evaluate whether the 
proposed data collection is necessary for the proper performance of the 
agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; 
(b) evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) minimize the burden 
of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or

technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. 
Comments should be received within 60 days of the date of this notice.
