<br />Because this revision request also affects the unincorporated areas of Larimer County, a separate LOMR for
<br />that community was issued on the same date as this LOMR. A portion of the revised area shown on the FIRM
<br />for the unincorporated areas of Larimer County, Colorado, has been annexed by the City of Loveland.
<br />Therefore, a portion of the revision to the FIRM for the City of Loveland, Colorado, is shown on the revised
<br />FIRM for the unincorporated areas of Larimer County, Colorado,
<br />
<br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and as modified
<br />by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community,
<br />The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs:

<br />
<br />Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald on or
<br />about October 3 and October 10, 1997. A copy of this notification is enclosed, In addition. a notice of
<br />changes will be published in the Federal Register, Within 90 days of the second publication in the Loveland
<br />Daily Reporter-Herald a citizen may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR
<br />Any request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on
<br />notice that, until the 9O-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMR may
<br />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 information 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. This
<br />article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons by
<br />providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps,
<br />
<br />We will physically revise and republish the previously cited FIRM and FBFM panel(s) and the FIS report to
<br />reflect the modifications made by this LOMR, and issue preliminary copies for community review, In order
<br />to provide your community with the most up-to-date information possible, we request that your community
<br />review the effective FIRM and FBFM panel( s) referenced above and the effective FIS report to determine if
<br />any additional changes are warranted, Examples of possible changes include updates to corporate limits, new
<br />streets within or adjacent to designated SFHAs, and revised floodway boundary delineations.
<br />
<br />To assist us in processing the revised FIRM, FBFM, and FIS report in a timely manner, we request that your
<br />community submit changes within 30 days of the date of this letter. We will review all information received
<br />during this 30-day period and incorporate it as appropriate into the preliminary copies of the revised FIRM,
<br />FBFM, and FIS report. The preliminary copies are scheduled to be delivered for review in approximately
<br />4 months,
<br />
<br />The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the
<br />tloodway moditications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your
<br />community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60,3(d) of the NFIP
<br />regulations ,
