Box 239 <br />Gunnison, Colorado 81230 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Decker: <br /> <br />The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations (copy enclosed) require <br />participating communities to adopt certain flood plain management measures. <br />Please consider this an official notice that your community has until May <br />16, 1983 to adopt flood plain management measures which satisfy the requirements <br />of section 60.3(d) of the regulations and have them approved by our Regional <br />Office. Your community will be suspended fram the NFIP effective that date <br />unless these measures are recei~ed and appro~ed by then. This will be your <br />final notice of suspension. <br /> <br />I realize that your community may be in the final adoption process, or you <br />may ha~e recently adopted the required measures. These measures, which should <br />be submitted to the Chief, Natural and Technological Hazards Division of the <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Building 710, Denver Federal Center, <br />Denver, Colorado 80225 will be reviewed upon receipt. Our Regional staff <br />will inform you of your community's continued eligibility If your measures <br />are appro~ed, or will assist your community if they find your measures to <br />be deficient. As in pre~ious correspondence, we urge you to contact our Regional <br />Office if your community is encountering difficulties in enacting the required <br />measures. Our Regional Office can be reached at (303) 234-6582. <br /> <br />It should be emphasized that flood insurance may not be sold or renewed within <br />suspended communities. In addition, such communities are subject to the provi- <br />sions of Section 202(a) of Public Law 93-234, as amended. This Section prohibits <br />Federal officers or agencies from approving any form of 10an, grant, guaranty, <br />insurance, payment, rebate, subsidy, disaster assistance loan or grant (in <br />connection with a flood), or any other form of direct Federal assistance, <br />other than general or special revenue sharing or formula grants made to States, <br />for acquisition or construction purposes within your community's special fl00d <br />hazard areas. Included in this prohibition, for example, is the making of <br />mortgage loans guaranteed by the Veterans Administration or insured by the <br />Federal Housing Administration. Approval of mortgage loans, secured by homes <br />or farm buildings, by the Farmers Home Administration is similarly proscribed. <br /> <br />Section 202(b) of P.L. 234, as amended, also requires federally regulated <br />lending institutions to notify, as a condition of making, increasing, extending, <br />or renewing any loan secured by improved real property situated in such special <br />fl00d hazard areas, the purchaser or lessee of such property of whether, in <br />the event of a disaster caused by flood to such property, Federal disaster <br />relief assistance will be available to such property. <br />
