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 Ree:ister. 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 Citizen Telee:ram, 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. We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM, FBFM, and FIS report for your community to reflect the modifications made by this LOMR at this time. However, when changes to FIRM Panel 1352 B, FBFM Panel 1352, and the FIS report for your community warrant a physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications made by this LOMR at that time. The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the floodway modifications described in this letter, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. This response to Ms. Hope's request is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, 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 panels as listed above and as revised by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.
