On October 1~ 1992, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
implemented the use of detailed application and certification forms for
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.
In addition, FEMA has implemented a reimbursement procedure to recover costs
associated with reviewing and processing revision requests, thus reducing the
expense to the NFIP. The initial fees of $760 are the minimum charges
associated with our review of a project of this type. You will be notified
of the estimated costs if we anticipate that, due to the extent of the review
required, the total costs will exceed $1,500. In that situation, our review
would be suspended pending our receipt of written authorization from you to
proceed. I£ your request will result in a rev~slon to the e~ectlve ~FIP
map, the total costs will include a fee of $560 per revised panel to cover
the costs of cartographic preparation.
Using the previously referenced certification forms, we have completed an
inventory of the items that you submitted. The items identified below are
required before we can begin a detailed review of the request.
