Because this revision request also affects the City of Colorado Springs, a separate LOMR for that
community was issued on the same date as this LOMR.

The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel listed above and as modified
by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.

The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs:

Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in The Gazette on or about October 9 and
October 16, 2003. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes will be
published in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in The Gazette, any interested
party may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR. Any request for
reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that, until
the 90-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs made by this LOMR may itself be
modified.

Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and
mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you to
disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons,
such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information.
We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper.
This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons
by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps.

We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the
modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel and FIS
report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications made
by this LOMR at that time.
