National
Flood Insurance Program Administration Costs, (XLS, 17KB) P&G 2.4.12(b) allows
reductions in the administrative costs associated with the NFIP to be claimed as
NED benefits in those alternatives which effectively remove properties from the
100-year floodplain. The attached spreadsheet shows the derivation
of the average annual administrative expenses per-policy over the period
2000-2004 of $167 (2007-QII dollar terms, as of August 30, 2007). As far as I
can tell, these are the latest published data. |
