On October l, 1992~ the Federal Emergency Nanagement Agency (FlOrA)
implemented the use of forms for requesting revisions or amendments to
National Flood Insurance Program (IqFIP) maps for two reasons. First~ because
the forms provide a step-by-step process for requesters to follow and are
comprehenslve~ requesters are assured oE providing all of the necessary
information to support their requests without having to go through an
£terative process of providing additional information in a piecemeal fashion.
Experience has shown this to be a time-consuming and cost-intensive process.
Second, because use of the forms assures that the requesters~ submissions are
complete and more logically structured, FENA can complete its review in a
shorter timeEreme and at a ~esser cost to the requester. ~ihile completion oE
the forms may appear to be burdensome, we believe it is prudent to do so
because of the advantages that result for the requester.

inventory oE the items that you submitted. The items identified below are
