<br />Public notification of the modified BFEs will be given in the Daily Camera on or about July 24 and

<br />period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMR may itself be modified,
<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 information 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 information,
<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 />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the
<br />modifications made by this LOMR at this time, When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and
<br />FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications
<br />made by this LOMR at that time,
<br />
<br />The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the
<br />floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to
<br />your community and adopted by appropriate conununity action, as specified in Paragraph 60,3(d) of the
<br />NFIP regulations,
<br />
<br />This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP, Your
<br />community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits
<br />required by Federal or State law have been received, State, county, and conununity officials, based on
<br />knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the
<br />SFHA, If the State, county, or conununity has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain
<br />management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimnm NFIP criteria,
<br />
<br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973
<br />(Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended
<br />(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42
<br />U,S,C, 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65, Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act
<br />of 1968, as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain
<br />management regulations that meet or exceed NFIP criteria, These criteria are the minimum requirements
<br />and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature, This includes adoption
