Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or ex ceed NFIP criteria. These criteria, including adoption of the FIS report and FIRM, and the modifications made by this LOMR, are the mi nimum requirements for continued NFIP participation and do not supersede more stringent State/Commonwealth or local requirements to which the regulations apply. COMMUNITY REMINDERS We based this determination on the 1-percent-annual-chance (base) stillwater elevations computed in the FIS for your community. A comprehensive restudy of your community’s flood hazards could establish greater flood hazards in this area. Your community must regulate all proposed floodplain development and ensure that permits required by Federal and/or State/Commonwealth law have been obtained. State/Commonwealth or community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction or may limit development in floodplain areas. If your State/Commonwealth or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, those criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP requirements. We will not print and distribute this LOMR to primary users, such as local insurance agents or mortgage lenders; instead, the community will serve as a repository for the new data. We encourage you to disseminate the information in this LOMR by preparing a new s release for publication in your community's newspaper that describes the revision and explains how your community will provide the da ta and help interpret the NFIP maps. In that way, interested persons, such as property owners, insurance agents, an d mortgage lenders, can benefit from the information. We have designated a Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) to assist your community. The CCO will be the primary liaison b etween your community and FEMA. For information regarding your CCO, please contact: Kerry Bogdan Chief, Risk Analysis Branch U.S. Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region I, 99 High Street Boston, MA 02110 (617)956-7576 This determination is based on the flood data presently available.
