<br />2 <br /> <br />I. Amending existing regulations to incorporate any additional requirements of Paragraph 60.3(d); <br /> <br />2. Adopting all of the standards of Paragraph 60.3(d) into one new, comprehensive set of <br />regulations; or <br /> <br />3. Showing evidence that regulations have previously been adopted that meet or exceed the <br />minimum requirements of Paragraph 60.3( d). <br /> <br />Communities that fail to enact the necessary floodplain management regulations will be suspended from <br />participation in the NFIP and subject to the prohibitions contained in Section 202(a) of the 1973 Act as <br />amended. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community with any <br />difficulties you may be encountering in enacting the floodplain management regulations. The CCO will <br />be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For information about your CCO, please <br />contact: <br /> <br />Mr. Steve L. Olsen <br />Director, Mitigation Division <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VIII <br />Denver Federal Center, Building 71 0, Box 25267 <br />Denver, CO 80225-0267 <br />(303) 235-4830 <br /> <br />To assist your community in maintaining the FIRM, we have enclosed a Summary of Map Actions to <br />document previous Letter of Map Change (LOMe) actions (Le., Letters of Map Amendment, Letters of <br />Map Revision) that will be superseded when the revised FIRM panels referenced above become <br />effective. Information on LOMCs is presented in the following four categories: (1) LOMCs for which <br />results have been included on the revised FIRM panels; (2) LOMCs for which results could not be shown <br />on the revised FIRM panels because of scale limitations or because the LOMC issued had determined <br />that the lots or structures involved were outside the Special Flood Hazard Area as shown on the FIRM; <br />(3) LOMCs for which results have not been included on the revised FIRM panels because the flood <br />hazard information on which the original determinations were based are being superseded by new flood <br />hazard information; and (4) LOMCs issued for multiple lots or structures where the determination for <br />one or more of the lots or structures cannot be revalidated through an administrative process like the <br />LOMCs in Category 2 above. LOMCs in Category 2 will be revalidated through a single letter that <br />reaffirms the validity of a previously issued LOMC; the letter will be sent to your community shortly <br />before the effective date of the revised FIRM and will become effective I day after the revised FIRM <br />becomes effective. For the LOMCs listed in Category 4, we will review the data previously submitted <br />for the LaMA or LOMR request and issue a new determination for the affected properties after the <br />revised FIRM becomes effective. <br /> <br />FEMA makes flood insurance available in participating communities; in addition, we encourage <br />communities to develop their own loss reduction and prevention programs. Through the Project Impact: <br />Building Disaster Resistant Communities initiative, launched by FEMA Director James Lee Witt in <br />1997, we seek to focus the energy of businesses, citizens, and communities in the United States on the <br />
