NFIP participating communities. The information is used by FEMA and 
NFIP State Coordinating Agencies to identify problems with communities' 
floodplain management and determine assistance. The two key methods 
FEMA uses in determining community assistance needs are through the CAC 
and CAV, which serve to provide a systematic means of monitoring 
community NFIP compliance. Through the CAC and CAV, FEMA can also 
determine to what

    Number of Respondents: 3,000.
