SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has submitted 
the following information collection to the Office of Management and

requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The submission

    OMB Number: 1660-0006.
    Abstract: FEMA will use the National Flood Insurance Program Policy 
Forms to collect information needed to issue and to accommodate the 
changing insurance needs of policyholders. Policies are marketed 
through the facilities of licensed insurance agents or brokers in 
various States. Applications from agents or brokers are forwarded to a 
servicing company designated as fiscal agent by Federal Insurance 
Administration. Upon receipt and examination of applications and 
required premium, servicing companies will issue appropriate Federal 
flood insurance policies.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, Business or other for-
profit, Not-for-profit institutions, Farms, and State, local, or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 228,400.\1\
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 8.52 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 22,300 hours.\2\
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The burden estimates and number of respondents has changed 
since publication of the 60-day Federal Register notice dated 
February 14, 2006. The total number of respondents has decreased 
from 254,100 to 228,400 (-25,700).
    \2\ The burden hours for this information collection have 
decreased from 25,125 to 22,300 (-2,825) estimated burden hours. 
These changes are due to a program revaluation of applicants who 
bought, renewed, endorsed (changed) or cancelled NFIP policies.
