issued on the same date as this LOMR.

modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.

Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the Daily Camera 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 Daily Camera, 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 90-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 NFIP maps.
