A copy of this notification is enclosed. Any request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. In addition, a notice of changes will be published in the Federal Register. 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. The revisions are effective as of the date of this letter; however, within 90 days of the second publication in the Boulder Daily Camera, a citizen may request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (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. Due to present funding constraints, we must limit the number of physical map revisions processed. Consequently, we will not republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the modifications described in this LOMR at this time. As stated in our October 17, 1994, letter to you, we will initiate a physical map revision for your community upon receipt of the data we require to review and accept the flood control projects identified in a letter dated August 22, 1994. from Ms. Nancy B. Love, Chief Executive Officer, Love & Associates, Inc. A date for this map update is not available at this time because the data for all identified projects have not been received. This response to Mr. Love's request is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all proposed floodplain developments, including this request, and for ensuring that necessary permits required by Federal or State law have been received. With knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, State and community officials may set higher standards for construction, or may limit development in floodplain areas. If the State of Colorado or your community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take precedence. The map panel as listed above and as revised by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. 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
