On October 1, 1992, the Federal ~mergency Hanagement Agency (FgNA)
implemented the use of detailed application and certification forms for
requesting revisions or amendments to National Flood Insurance Program
maps. These forms outline technical and NFIP-related considerations in a
fashion that facilitates an efficient review.
In addition, FE~A has implemented a reimbursement procedure to recover costs
associated with reviewing and processing CIA)HR requests, thus reducing the
expense to the NFIP. The initial fees of $735 are the minimum charges
associated with our review of a project of this type. You ~r[ll be notified
of the estimated costs if .e anticipate that, due to the extent o£ the review
required, the total costs will exceed $1,500. In that situation, our review
vould be suspended pending our receipt of ~ritten authorization from you to
proceed. If your request will result in a revision to the e£fectlve NFIP
map, the total costs will include a fee o£ $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 reviev of the request.
