The applicant is <br />also required to submit a review/processing fee <br />associated with the revision request. The current FEMA <br />forms and fee schedule can be obtained from the local <br />floodplain administrator or directly from FEMA's website <br />(www.fema.aov). <br /> <br />Issuance of a conditional approval (CLOMA, CLOMR <br />based on fill, or CLOMR) by FEMA does not remove <br />structures and/or properties from the FEMA flood hazard <br />zone.
