FBFH Panel(s) Affected:
On October 1, 1992, the Federal Emergency Nanagement Agency (FENA)
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, FENA has implemented a reimbursement procedure to recover costs
associated with reviewing and processing CLONR requests, thus reducing the
expense to the NFIP. The initial £ees of $735 that you have submitted 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 o£ written
authorization from you to proceed. I£ your request will result in a revision
to the effective NFIP 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.
