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.
