Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the Longmont Daily Times Call on or
about June 4 and June 11, 1999. 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 Longmont Daily
Times Call, 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 NFlP maps.

We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the
modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and
FlS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications
made by this LOMR at that time.

This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your
community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits
required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on
knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the
SFHA. If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain
management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP criteria.

This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973
(Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended
(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42
U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act
of 1968, as amended, communities participating in the NFlP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain
management regulations that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and
do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption of the
effective FIRM to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in this LOMR. Our records
show that your community has met this requirement.
