SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Homeland Security's
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) (codified at 42 U.S.C. 4001, et seq.),
and a major objective of the NFIP is to assure that participating
communities are achieving the flood loss reduction objectives through
implementation and enforcement of adequate land use and control
measures. FEMA's authority to collect information that will allow for
the evaluation of how well communities are implementing their
floodplain management programs is found at 42 U.S.C. 4022 and 42 U.S.C.
4102. Title 44 CFR 59.22 directs the respondent to submit evidence of
the corrective and preventive measures taken to meet the flood loss
reduction objectives.
Collection of Information

Report; FEMA Form 086-0-29, Community Contact Report.
Abstract: Through the use of a Community Assistance Contact (CAC)

Communities can achieve cost savings through flood mitigation actions
by way of insurance premium discounts and reduced property damage.
