requesting revisions or amendments to National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
maps. These forms outline technical and NFIP-related considerations in a
fashion that facilitates an efficient review.
Using the previously referenced certification forms, we have completed an
inventory of the items that you submitted. The items identified below are

Fee Charges and Requirements for Map Revisions
On June 30, 1992 the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) published a Final Rule
in the Federal Register, Volume 57, Number 126, regarding changes to 44 CFR Parts
65 and 72 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations.
These changes were implemented effective October 1, 1992 and impact persons
requesting revisions to NFIP maps on or after thai date. Tl~e primary change involves
a fee 'requirement for map revision and Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) requests, much
like the current fee requirements for conditional requests. This action is being
implemented to reduce expenses to the NFIP and will contribute to maintaining the
NFIP as self-supporting.
Part 72.5 of the aforementioned regulations provides exemption from fees for:
(a) Revisions or amendments to correct errors or to include the effects of natural
changes within the areas of special flood hazard.
(b) LOMRs, as determined to be appropriate by the Federal Insurance
Administrator, issued to remove single residential lots or structures from the
area of special flood hazard based solely on the placement of fill outside of the
regulatory floodway. The Administrator's determination shall be based, in part,
on whether the LOMR is being sought by an individual property owner or
whether it is being requested prior to the transfer of ownership of the property
in question .from a developer to an individual property owner.
(c) Federal. State and local governments shall be exempt from, fes~ for projects
they sponsor if the Administrator determines or the requesting agency certifies
that the particular project is for public benefit and primarily intended for flood
loss reduction to insurable structures in identified flood hazard areas which
were in existence prior to commencement of construction of the flood control
project. Projects undertaken primarily to protect planned flood plain
development are not eligible for fee exemption.
The initial fee schedule is r~printed offthe reverse of this Notice. Please note that the
initial fee represents the minimum engineering review and administrative processing
costs associated with each type of project. The initial fee does not include costs for
labor and materials associated with the cartographic processing and preparation of a
map revision.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
FEDERAL I NSU RANCE ADMINISTRATION
FEDERAL INSURANCE ADMINISTRATION INTRODUCES
APPLICATION/CERTIFICATION FORMS
One of the Federal Insurance
Administration's. (FIA's) goals is to ensure
that National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) maps reflect the most accurate and
up-to-date information available. To
accomplish this goal, a number of
administrative procedures were established
to effect changes to NFIP maps. Over the
years, we have standard-ized these
administrative procedures to make
requesting a map change a simpler process
and 1~o decrease the amount of time that it
takes us to make a determination. On
October 1, 1992, we embarked on our latest
effort to make the map change process
quicker and more efficient.
As of October 1, we are requiring that
requesters fill out application/certification
forms for most types-of map change
requests. Requesters who wish to request
map amendments or map revisions based
on fill to NFIP maps will be required to fill
out the Application/Certification Forms and
Instructions for Letters of Map
Amendment, Conditional Letters of Map
Amendment, Letters of Map Revision
(Based on Fi#J, and Conditional Letters of
Map Revision (Based on Fill~. Those
requesters who wish to request map
revisions based on new or corrected
flooding information will be required to fill
out the Application/Certification Forms and
Instructions for Conditional Letters of Map
Revision, Letters of Map Revision, and
Physical Map Revisions.
Ir~ the past, it was not unusUal for the FIA tcr
have to contact a requester several times to
obtain the information necessary to
support a map amendment or revision
request. We developed these forms so that
the requester will understand what data
are required for his or her request. As a
result, requesters will have an excellent
chance of sending us a complete data
package the first time. For this reason, we
believe that these forms will significantly
decrease the amount of time that it takes
to process map amendment and map
revision requests and issue our
determination.
To receive copies of the application/
certification forms and instructions, you
may contact your Federal Emergency
Management Agency Regional Office (see
