Dear Mayor Wolfe:
On A,~g,,~t 1N. lqq2~ you received notification of modified base flood
elevation (BFE) determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FILM)
for the City of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas. The 90-day appeal period that
was initiated on August 28, 1992, when the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) published a notification of modifications of the BFEs for the
City of Coppell, in the Citizen's Advocate, has elapsed.
FEMA has received no valid requests for changes in the BFEs; therefore, the
modified BFEs that became effective on August 10, 1992, remain valid and
revise the FIRM that was in effect prior to that date.
These modifications are being made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-234) and are in accordance with the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as.amended (Title XIII of the Housing
and Urban Development Act of 1968, 90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR
Part 65. The community number is unaffected by this revision. The suffix
codes for individual map panels may be determined by referring to the most
recent index map for your community. The community number and appropriate
suffix code will be used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for
all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.
FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management under the above-
mentioned Acts of 1968 and 1973. To continue participation in the NFIP, your
community must use the modified BFEs to carry out the floodplain management
measures for the NFIP. The modified BFEs will also be used to calculate the
appropriate f~ooa insurance premium rates for a~i new buildings and their
contents and for the second layer of insurance on existing buildings and
their contents.
If you have any questions regarding the BFE determinations, please contact
the Chief, Natural and Technological Hazards Division, FEMA, in Denton,
Texas, at (817) 898-5127, or Mr. Alan Johnson of my staff in Washington,
D.C., at (202) 646-3403.
