FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites
the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity
to comment on proposed new, revised, or continuing information
collections. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice seeks comments concerning the
proposed extension of an existing information collection, which expires
June 30, 1996.
Title. Make Your Mark on the Floodplain--High Water Mark Form.
Type of Information Collection. Extension.
OMB Number: 3067-0268
FEMA Form Title. High Water Mark.
Abstract. The Make Your Mark on the Floodplain handout and
accompanying High Water Mark form is used to establish uniform and
consistent methodologies for setting and recovering high water marks
following a significant flood event. After a major flood, anyone who
has high water marks on their property or observed flood marks on
public property can use the form to record high water mark information,
including location, measurements, and description of the marks read.
The data will be used by FEMA in post-flood damage assessments since
the data will define a frequency/damage relationship for the flooding
event and provide calibration information for future analysis. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers will assist FEMA in collecting and compiling
high water mark data.
Affected Public. Individuals and households, business or other for
profit, Non-profit institutions, Farms, and State, local or tribal
governments.
Number of Respondents. 7,500.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours. 2,500.
Estimated Time Per Response. 20 minutes.
COMMENTS: Written comments are solicited to (a) evaluate whether the
proposed data collection is necessary for the proper performance of the
agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility;
(b) evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons should submit written comments to Muriel
B. Anderson, FEMA Information Collections Officer, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW, Room 311, Washington, DC 20472.
Telephone number (202) 646-2625. FAX number (202) 646-3524.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or
