SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency has submitted the 
following proposed information collection to the Office of Management 
and Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    Title: Post Construction Elevation Certificate/Flood Proofing

are required for proper rating of post Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) 
structures, which are buildings constructed after publication of the 
FIRM, for flood insurance in Special Flood Hazard Areas. In addition, 
the Elevation Certificate is needed for pre-FIRM structures being rated 
under post-FIRM flood insurance rules. The certificates provide 
community officials and others standardized documents to readily record 
needed information.
    The certificates are supplied to insurance agents, community 
officials, surveyors, engineers, architects, and NFIP policyholders/
applicants. The community officials or other professionals provided the 
elevation data required to document conformance with floodplain 
management regulations and for the applicants so that actuarial 
insurance rates can be charged for insuring property against the flood 
hazard.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, farms, and state, local or tribal 
government.
