This document provides the Federal Emergency Management Agency's determination regarding a request for a Letter of Map Amendment for the property
described above. Using the information submitted and the effective Nationai Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we have determined that the
structure(s) on the property(ies) is/are not Iccated in the SFHA, an area inundated by the flood having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in
any given year (base flood). This document amends the effective NFIP map to remove the subject property from the SFHA located on the effective NFIP
map; therefore, the Federal mandatory flood insurance requirement does not apply. However, the lender has the option to continue the flood insurance
requirement to protect its financial risk on the loan. A Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) is available for buildings located outside the SFHA. Information about
the PRP and how one can apply is enclosed.
This determinatioo is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination. If
you have any questions about this document, please contact the FEMA Map Assistance Center toll free at (877) 336-2627 (877-FEMA MAP) or by letter
addressed to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, 12101 Indian Creek Court, Beltsville, MD 20705.

ATTACHMENT 1 (ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS)
PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY REMAIN IN THE FLOODWAY (This Additional Consideration applies to the
preceding I Property.)
A portion of this property is located within the Special Flood Hazard Area and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
regulatory floodway for the flooding source indicated on the Determination/Comment Document while the subject of this
determ nation is not. The NFIP regulatory floodway is the area that must remain unobstructed in order to prevent
unacceptable increases in base flood elevations. Therefore, no cor~struction may take place in a NFIP regulatory floodway
that may cause an increase in the base flood elevation. The NFIP regulatory floodway is provided to the community as a
tool to regulate floodplain development. Modifications to the NFIP regulatory floodway must be accepted by both the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the community involved. Appropriate community actions are defined in
Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. Any proposed revision to the NFIP regulatory floodway must be submitted to
FEMA by community officials. The community should contact either the Regional Director (for those communities in Regions
I-IV, and VI-X), or the Regional Engineer (for those communities in Region V) for guidance on the data which must be
submitted for a revision to the NFIP regulatory floodway. Contact information for each regional office can be obtained by
calling the FEMA Map Assistance Center toll free at (877) 336-2627 (877-FEMA MAP) or from our web site at
http://www.fema.gov/about]regoff.htm.
PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY REMAIN IN THE SFHA (This Additional Consideration applies to the preceding 1
Property.)
This Determination Document has removed the subject of the determination from the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).
However, portions of the property may remain in the SFHA. Therefore, any future construction or substantial improvement
on the property remains subject to Federal, State/Commonwealth, and local regulations for floodplain management.
