Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has submitted 
the following information collection to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The submission 
describes the nature of the information collection, the categories of 
respondents, the estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort and resources 
used by respondents to respond) and cost, and includes the actual data 
collection instruments FEMA will use.
    Title: Flood Mitigation Assistance--Flood Mitigation Plan.
    OMB Number: 1660-0075.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Abstract: States and communities must have a FEMA approved flood 
mitigation plan before FEMA will award project grant assistance to a 
State or community applicant. FEMA and the States will use local 
community flood mitigation plans to identify the need to provide 
technical assistance to local governments lacking sufficient resources 
to complete FEMA grant applications. Secondly, and more importantly, 
the local or State government that develops the plan will use it to 
make land use decisions, implement zoning changes, encourage smarter 
development, and implement projects to reduce the impact of flooding on 
insurable structures.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 240.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 2080 hours to develop a new 
Mitigation Plan and 8 hours to review submitted plans.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 250,560.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Comments: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments 
on the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs at OMB, Attention: Desk Officer for the Department 
of Homeland Security/FEMA, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20503, or facsimile number (202) 395-7285. Comments 
must be submitted on or before May 31, 2006.
