SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


[top] Changes Since Publication of the 60 Day Federal Register Notice: The abstract has been updated to remove a reference public risk sharing organization because the authority for allowing such entities to enter the WYO program has sunsetted. The abstract has also been revised for clarity. The burden hours have been updated to reflect the one-time test of the insurance company's ability to use the NFIP page 22217 Transaction Record Reporting and Processing Plan (TRRP) System.
