WASHINGTON–Congress is likely to extend the current National Flood Insurance Program without changes until next April 30 before it leaves at week's end, according to insurance industry lobbyists and a Gulf Coast congressman.

Action is likely because Congress wants to finish its work for the year and leave by the end of this week, and the authorization for the program expires Sept. 30, it was explained.

That would mean that Congress would have to restart next year its more than year-long effort to extend and reform the NFIP.
