<br />2 <br /> <br />permits required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, <br />based on knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for <br />construction in the SFHA. If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or <br />comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP <br />criteria. <br /> <br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents <br />and mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you <br />to disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested <br />persons, such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the <br />information. We also encourage you to prepare an article for publication in your community's local <br />newspaper. This article should describe the changes that have been made and the assistance that officials <br />of your community will give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP <br />maps. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 <br />(Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended <br />(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C. <br />4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, <br />as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations that meet or exceed NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum requirements <br />and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption <br />of the effective FIRM to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in this LOMR. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding floodplain management regulations for your community or the NFIP <br />in general, please contact the Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) for your community. <br />Information on the CCO for your community may be obtained by calling the Director, Mitigation <br />Division ofFEMA in Denver, Colorado, at (303) 235-4830. If you have any questions regarding this <br />LOMR, please call our Map Assistance Center, toll free, at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627). <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />J!a~f] 'p c,LC~ <br /> <br />Sally P.
