<br />C. 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 />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:
