SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency has submitted the

and Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507).

collection.
    OMB Number: 3067-0195.
    Abstract: The CRS Program establishes a system for FEMA to grade 
communities' floodplain management activities that exceed Federal 
minimum standards and to qualify for lower insurance rates. The January 
2002 edition of the NFIP CRS Coordinator's Manual contains instructions 
for preparing the application worksheets that will be used to apply for 
activity points leading up to a CRS rating and commensurate flood 
insurance premium discounts. The schedule describes the floodplain 
management and insurance activities available to qualifying communities 
that undertake the selected additional activities that will reduce 
flood losses. Annually, all CRS participating communities must certify 
they are maintaining activities for which they receive credit.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 940.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 29 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,260.
    Frequency of Response: Annual upate.
