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 Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald a citizen 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 9O-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in 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 physically revise and republish the previously cited FIRM and FBFM panel(s) and the FIS report to reflect the modifications made by this LOMR, and issue preliminary copies for community review. In order to provide your community with the most up-to-date information possible, we request that your community review the effective FIRM and FBFM panel(s) referenced above and the effective FIS report to determine if any additional changes are warranted. Examples of possible changes include updates to corporate limits, new streets within or adjacent to designated SFHAs, and revised floodway boundary delineations. To assist us in processing the revised FIRM, FBFM, and FIS report in a timely manner, we request that your community submit changes within 30 days of the date of this letter . We will review all information received during this 30-day period and incorporate it as appropriate into the preliminary copies of the revised FIRM, FBFM, and FIS report. The preliminary copies are scheduled to be delivered for review in approximately 4 months. The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations . This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP.
