In addition, a notice of changes will be published <br />in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in the Gazette Telegraph, a citizen may <br />request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR. Any request for reconsideration <br />must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that, until the 9O-day <br />period elapses. the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMR may itself be modified. <br /> <br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and <br />mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data, We encourage you to <br />disseminate the infoniiation reflected by this LOMR throughout the community. so that interested persons. <br />such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information, <br />We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper. <br />This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons <br />by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. <br /> <br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the <br />modifications made by this LOMR at this time, When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and <br />PIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future. we will incorporate the modifications <br />made by this LOMR at that time. <br /> <br />This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP, Your <br />community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits <br />required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials. based on <br />knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the <br />SFHA, If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain <br />management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NPIP criteria. <br /> <br />The basis of this LOMR is, in whole or in part, a culvert project. NFIP regulations, as cited in <br />Paragraph 6O.3(b)(7), require that communities ensure that the flood-carrying capacity within the altered <br />or relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained. This provision is incorporated into your <br />community's existing floodplain management regulations. Consequently, the ultimate responsibility for <br />maintenance of the modified culvert rests with your community. <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.
