<br />Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners [April 2003] <br /> <br />Column C depicts a digital FIRM conversion completed by the MCC with no new flood hazard <br />data developed. <br /> <br />Column D depicts a "traditional" FEMA-contracted Flood Map Project. The SC completes the <br />hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and floodplain mapping and the MCC performs up front <br />research, ongoing coordination, independent QAlQC reviews, digital FIRM production, and <br />Preliminary/Post-Preliminary processing. <br /> <br />Column E depicts a Flood Map Project completed primarily by another Federal agency. The <br />MCC performs upfront research, ongoing coordination, and Preliminary / Post-Preliminary <br />processing. For this Flood Map Project, the community would be moderately involved, perhaps <br />through sharing of base map data for the production of the digital FIRM. <br /> <br />1.1.6 <br /> <br />Oversight of Flood Map Projects <br /> <br />[February 2002] <br /> <br />All Mapping Partners performing work under a contractual or cooperative agreement will <br />perform work under the authority of FEMA Project Officers (POs) and Assistance Officers <br />(AOs). The AOs and POs may not be the same people for different Mapping Partners. For CTPs <br />and SCs, the PO is normally a Regional Engineer from the Flood Insurance and Mitigation <br />Division of the appropriate FEMA RO and is referred to hereinafter as the Regional Project <br />Officer (RPO). For MCCs, the PO is the appropriate Studies Team Leader from the Hazards <br />Study Branch of the Hazard Mapping Division, Federal Insurance and Mitigation <br />Administration, and is referred to hereinafter as the PO at FEMA HQ. <br /> <br />The AO for CTPs and SCs is a Contracting or Acquisitions Officer from the appropriate RO and <br />is referred to hereinafter as the AO. For MCCs, the AO is a Contracting Officer (CO) from the <br />Financial and Acquisition Management Division at FEMA HQ and is referred to hereinafter as <br />the CO at FEMA HQ. <br /> <br />The RPO or PO at FEMA HQ is the Mapping Partner's primary contact at FEMA and is <br />responsible for general oversight and coordination of activities performed under the Mapping <br />Partner's contractual or cooperative agreement with FEMA. Responsibilities of the RPO and PO <br />at FEMA HQ include: <br /> <br />. Facilitating contractual task orders for FEMA contractors; <br /> <br />. Facilitating Partnership Agreements, Mapping Activity Statements (MASs), and <br />Cooperative Agreements with CTPs; <br /> <br />. Coordinating with other FEMA programs (e.g., Community Rating System); and <br /> <br />. Monitoring the Mapping Partner's activities and performance. <br /> <br />The AO or CO is responsible for contractual and financial aspects of contractual and cooperative <br />agreements, including: <br /> <br />. Administering task orders, MASs, and Cooperative Agreements; <br /> <br />1-8 ' <br /> <br />Section 1.1 <br />
