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).

    Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, with change of a 
previously approved collection for which approval has expired.

    Abstract: The Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) requires that 
communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program 
submit a biennial report on progress made in local floodplain 
management. The use of a simple, standard format facilitates FEMA's 
reporting of response, thus enhancing the reports value as a management 
tool. The following three FEMA forms are used to collect data for the 
biennial report:
    FEMA Form 81-28, Regular Program and Emergency Program (Minimally 
Floodprone). The hour burden estimate is 35 minutes per response.
    FEMA Form 81-29, Regular Program (with Base Flood Elevations). The 
hour burden estimate is 1 hour per response.
    FEMA Form 81-29A, Regular Program (No Special Flood Hazard Area). 
The hour burden estimate is 12 minutes per response.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 9,089.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 7,546.
    Frequency of Response: Biennially.

COMMENTS: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Desk Officer for the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 within 
30 days of the date of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or

Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW, Room 311, Washington, DC 20472.
