<br />Public notification of the revised BFEs will be given in the Gazette Tele~r:ij)h on or about November 21 and
<br />November 28, 1995, A copy of this notification is enclosed, Any request for reconsideration must be based
<br />on scientific or teclmical data, In addition, a notice of changes will be published in the Federal Re\lister.
<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 infonnation 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 infonnation,
<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 />The revisions are effective as of the date of this letter; however, within 90 days of the second publication
<br />in the Gazette Tele~raph, a citizen may request that FEMA reconsider the detennination made by this
<br />LOMR, Any request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties
<br />are on notice that, until the 90-day period elapses, the detennination to modify the BFEs presented in this
<br />LOMR may itself be modified.
<br />
<br />Due to present funding constraints, we must limit the number of physical map revisions processed, Because
<br />we are processing a revised FIRM for El Paso County in our countywide fonnat, we will not republish the
<br />FIRM for your community at this time, Preliminary copies of the countywide FIRM, which presents
<br />infonnation from the effective FIRMs for your community and other incorporated communities in El Paso
<br />County, were submitted to your community for review on June 28, 1995, We will incorporate the
<br />modifications described in this LOMR into the countywide FIRM before the FIRM becomes' effective,
