Mansions Phase 1-CS 990111 FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY ANNOUNCES
CHANGES IN USER FEES FOR FLOOD MITIGATION PRODUCTS
Through a Notice published in the Federal Register on January 11, 1999, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) announced its intent to change the fee schedule for several of the
products it provides to the public in support of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
These changes are being made to ensure full reimbursement to FEMA of the funds that are
actually expended in reviewing and processing requests for Conditional and Final Map
Revisions.
Effective March 1, 1999, the fee schedule for requests for Conditional Letters of Map Revision
(CLOMRs) and Final Map Revisions--Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs) and Physical Map
Revisions (PMRs)--is as follows:
Fee Schedule for CLOMR Requests
Request based on new hydrology, bridge, culvert, channel, or combination thereof $3,100
Request based on levee, berm, or other structural measure $4,000
Fee Schedule for LOMR and PMR Requests
Request based on bridge, culvert, channel, or combination thereof $4,000
Request based on levee, berm, or other structural measure $4,700
Request based on as-built information submitted as followup to CLOMR $3,400
Request based solely on submission of more detailed data $3,100
The Notice that appeared in the January 11 edition of the Federal Register may be obtained
electronically from the National Archives and Records Administration site on the World Wide
Web (http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fedreg/a99011 l c.html). Interested persons who do not
have access to the Intemet may obtain paper copies of the Notice, free of charge, by calling the
