2 2. Adopting all of the standards of Section 60.3( d) into one new, comprehensive set of regulations; or, 3.

Communities that fail to enact the necesslll)' floodplain management regulations will be suspendedjrom participation in the NFlP and subject to the prohibitions contained in Section 202(a) of the 1973 Act as amended. A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community with any difficulties you may be encountering in enacting the floodplain management regulatiOl\s. The CCO will be the primlll)' liaison between your community and FEMA. For information about your CCO, please contact: Mr. Steve L. Olsen Director, Mitigation Division Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VIlI Denver Federal Center, Building 710, Box 25267 Denver, Colorado 80225-0267 (303) 235-4830 To assist your community in maintaining the FIRM, we have enclosed a Summlll)' of Map Actions to document previous Letters of Map Change (LOMCs) (i.e., Letters of Map Amendment, Letters of Map Revision) that will be superseded when the revised FIRM panels referenced above become effective. Information on LOMCs is presented in three categories: (1) LOMCs that have been included on the revised FIRM panels; (2) LOMCs that have not been shown on the revised FIRM panels because of scale limitations or because the LOMC that was issued had determined that the lots or structures involved were outside the Special Flood Hazard Area shown on the FIRM; and (3) LOMCs that have not been included on the revised FIRM panels because they are being superseded by new detailed flood hazard data. The LOMCs shown in Category 2 above will be revalidated by FEMA through a letter that will be sent to your community shortly before the FIRM effective date cited earlier in this letter. FEMA makes flood insurance available in participating communities; in addition, we encourage communities to develop their own loss reduction and prevention programs. Our Project Impact initiative, developed by FEMA Director James Lee Witt, seeks to focus the energy of businesses, citizens, and communities in the United States on the importance of reducing their susceptibility to the impact of all natural disasters, including floods, hurricanes, severe storms, earthquakes, and wildfires. Natural hazard mitigation is most effective when it is planned for and implemented at the local level, by the entities who are most knowledgeable of local conditions and whose economic stability and safety are at stake. For your information, we are enclosing a Project Impact Fact Sheet. For additional information on Project Impact, please visit our Web site at www.fema.l!ov.
