Data Development and Map Production Process <br /> <br />An independent QA/QC review of topographic data also may be required, particularly for data <br />collected using new or emerging technologies, such as LIDAR. <br /> <br />The Mapping Partner responsible for the preparation of the Preliminary copies of the FIRM and <br />FIS report shall submit for an independent review, the merged flood hazard data and other <br />ancillary products associated with the preparation of the Preliminary copies of the FIRM and FIS <br />report. <br /> <br />The FEMA Lead, in coordination with the Flood Map Project management team, shall determine <br />the scope, protocols, and associated details of these independent reviews. The intent of these <br />independent QA/QC reviews is to reasonably verify that the analyses and other activities that are <br />performed and the products that are generated during a Flood Map Project meet the requirements <br />in these Guidelines and in Project-related task orders and MASs. The independent QA/QC <br />reviewer( s) shall provide a summary report to the FEMA Lead and the Mapping Partner that <br />prepared the data, analyses, or mapping. <br /> <br />In addition, the Mapping Partner responsible for the preparation of the Preliminary copies of the <br />FIRM and PIS report shall ensure, through an internal QA/QC process, that all components of <br />the FIRM and FIS report are in compliance with these Guidelines. <br /> <br />1-56 <br /> <br />Section 1.4 <br />
