How to Request a Revision <br />At any time after a NFIP map has become effective, a community <br />may request that the map be revised, Because the Mayor or manager <br />of the community is responsible for ensuring that the community <br />meets its obligations as a participant in the NFl P, any req uests for <br />revisions must be made or approved by either the Mayor or a com- <br />munity official, such as a city manager or engineer, designated by the <br />elected board, Therefore, any individual property owner, developer, or <br />other person who wishes to have the NFIP map revised, must submit <br />the request to the designated community official. You, as the <br />designated community official, should review the request and, when for- <br />warding it to FEMA, should state whether the community supports the <br />request. <br />If the community will not support the request on the basis that the <br />request would involve a violation of Federal, State, or local floodplain <br />management laws or ordinances, FEMA will not act on the request. <br />Requests for revisions to effective NFIP maps should be submitted <br />to the FEMA Regional Office in Denver, If the request is for a deter- <br />mination involving a single structure or single lot, the Regional Office <br />will make the determination, All other requests will be reviewed by the <br />Regional Office and forwarded to FEMA Headquarters Office in <br />Washington, D,C" for disposition, <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />D. Data Required To Support the Request <br />The type and amount of data that must be submitted are dependent <br />on the reason for the revision and the type of changes to be made, <br />Revisions to effective NFIP maps are usually requested because of <br />changes that have taken place in the floodplain, Such changes include, <br />but are not limited to, the construction of new bridges, culverts, levees, <br />or channel improvements and the grading and filling normally <br />associated with development (including the placement of fill to elevate <br />individual structures above the BFE), Occasionally, revisions will be <br />requested because the analyses used to develop the data shown on the <br />effective NFIP map are found to certain errors or because a requestor <br />believes that the use of alternative methodologies or better data will <br />provide results that are more accurate than those obtained from the <br />original FEMA analyses, <br />To support requests based on the effects of physical changes that <br />have occurred in the floodplains or on the use of alternative <br />methodologies or better data, the requestor must provide new analyses, <br />in which the alternative methodologies or better data are used and any <br />other data necessary for FEMA to revise the effective map, FEMA will <br />not perform any analyses in conjunction with these kinds of requests, <br />To support requests that revisions be made to correct mathematical <br />or measurement errors, the requestor need only identify the errors and <br />provide any new analyses and correct the maps, <br />See separate sheet in the Appendix for new technical data submis- <br />sion requirements for fill in floodplain areas involving map revisions, <br />The following are descriptions of the data that must be submitted to <br />support various types of revision requests: <br /> <br />I. <br /> <br />24 <br />
