Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 160 / Monday, August 23, 2021 / Notices rainfall, changing weather patterns, riverine and coastal erosion, and shifts in future development.
Particularly where comments relate to the CRS programs costs or benefits, comments will be most useful if there are data and experience under the program available to ascertain the programs actual impact.
C. List of Questions for Commenters
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

The below non-exhaustive list of questions is meant to assist members of the public in the formulation of comments and is not intended to restrict the issues that commenters may address:
1 What are the strengths of the current CRS program? What components of the program are currently working well and why?
2 What are the challenges with the current CRS program that need to be addressed and why? How can the CRS
program be modified, expanded, or streamlined to better address or resolve these challenges?
3 While the CRS program is technically available to all compliant NFIP communities, is access to the CRS
program equitable for all communities?
If not, what changes to the CRS program could make it more equitable for all communities? How could the CRS
program provide better outreach to disadvantaged communities to encourage participation? How could the CRS program provide better outreach to households in disadvantaged communities to encourage participation in the NFIP?
4 How could the CRS program better promote and/or incentivize improved reduction of future conditions and risks such as climate change, sea-level rise, urban flooding, and future development?
5 How could the CRS program better address the mitigation of repetitive loss/
severe repetitive loss 14 properties and how could FEMA further leverage the CRS program to achieve mitigation of 14 Repetitive loss properties are those properties for which two or more claims of more than $1,000 have been paid by the NFIP within any 10-year period since 1978. Severe repetitive loss properties are those as defined in the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 that are one-four family properties that have had four or more claims of more than $5,000 or two to three claims that cumulatively exceed the buildings value. CRS
considers non-residential buildings that also meet these criteria to be severe repetitive loss properties.

repetitive loss/severe repetitive loss properties?
6 How can the CRS program be modified, expanded, or streamlined to best incentivize participation by communities and flood insurance policyholders to become more resilient and lower their vulnerability to flood risk?
7 How can the CRS program better incentivize floodplain management, risk management, and/or risk reduction efforts for communities through CRS
discounts, grants, trainings, technical assistance or other means? Which efforts are most critical for the CRS program to support?
8 What existing sources of data can FEMA leverage to better assist communities to assess, communicate, and drive the reduction of current and future flood risk? Can FEMA leverage new technologies to modify or streamline the CRS program? If so, what are they and how can FEMA use new technologies to achieve the statutory objectives of the program?
9 The CRS program provides credits for flood risk reduction activities. Are there flood risk reduction activities that are not currently given credit within the CRS program that should be? If so, what are they and why? Are there flood risk reduction activities that are currently given excessive credit within the CRS
program than they should be given? If so, what are they and why? Should the CRS program provide a list of optional risk reduction activities for communities to choose from or a list of required risk reduction activities, and why?
10 What successful approaches have been taken by State, local, Tribal, and Territorial governments that the CRS
program could leverage to better support community participation in the CRS
program? In what ways could the CRS
program better support States, Tribes, Territories and Regions, and flood control and water management districts to improve community participation in the program? What innovative changes could the CRS program make to be simpler for communities to join and maintain participation?
11 How could the CRS program provide better outreach to disadvantaged communities to encourage participation? How could the CRS program provide better outreach to households in disadvantaged communities to encourage participation in the NFIP?
11 In what ways could the CRS
program facilitate collaboration across jurisdictional boundaries to support a communitys ability to reduce flood risk? How could the CRS program be

modified, expanded, or streamlined to allow for multi-jurisdictional collaboration efforts to receive credit under the CRS program?
12 What opportunities exist for the CRS program to better integrate with other entities and/or programs? For example, in what specific ways could the CRS program better work and integrate with State, local, Tribal, and Territorial programs, including but not limited to, floodplain management, emergency services, land use planning and building code administration capital improvement, transportation, redevelopment, preand post-disaster recovery, climate adaptation, hazard mitigation planning, watershed management, and/or wetlands, riparian, or environmental management programs? In what specific ways could the CRS program better work and integrate with Federal disaster assistance programs or Federal mitigation programs?
