Endangered Species Act Requirements



Mailing Address & Fees



You may complete your Letter of Map Change request by sending paper forms by mail. There are three forms for different kinds of requests: MT-EZ, MT-1 and MT-2.



You may also submit your applications online using FEMA's Online LOMA application.



alert - infoLooking for other paper forms? Visit the National Flood Insurance Program's form library.



Endangered Species Act (ESA) Requirements



For Letter of Map Change Requests (LOMCs) involving floodplain activities that have already occurred, private individuals and local and state jurisdictions are required to comply with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) requirements independent of FEMA’s review.



These as-built requests do not provide the same opportunity as Conditional LOMCs for FEMA to comment on the project because map changes are issued only after the physical action has occurred.



alert - infoBefore FEMA reviews a Conditional Letter of Map Revision, the applicant must provide documentation to FEMA that the project has complied with the Endangered Species Act of 1973.



MT-EZ Form



Application Form for Single Residential Lot or Structure Amendments to National Flood Insurance Program Maps



(Condensed Version of the MT-1 Form)



This form should be used to request that FEMA remove a single structure or a legally recorded parcel of land or portions thereof, described by metes and bounds certified by a Registered Professional Engineer or Licensed Land Surveyor, from a designated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), an area that would be inundated by the flood having a 1-percent-annual-chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood), via Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA). A LOMA is a letter from FEMA stating that an existing structure or parcel of land that has not been elevated by fill (i.e. the existing structure or parcel of land is on natural grade) would not be inundated by the base flood. Fill is defined as material placed to raise the ground to or above the Base Flood Elevation.

MT-1 Form



Application Forms for Conditional and Final Letters of Map Amendment and Letters of Map Revision Based on Fill



(For all LOMA, CLOMA, LOMR-F and CLOMR-F Requests)



This form should be used to assist requesters (community officials, individual property owners and others) in gathering the information that FEMA needs to determine whether property (i.e., structure(s), parcel(s) of land) is likely to be flooded during the flood event that has a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base or 100-year, flood). Lands that are at risk of being inundated by the base flood are called Special Flood Hazard Areas or SFHAs.



The forms in this package may be used for property that has been inadvertently included in a V zone or the regulatory floodway. However, if the property is to be removed from a V zone, it must not be located seaward of the landward toe of the primary frontal dune.

MT-2 Form



Application Forms for Conditional Letters of Map Revision and Letters of Map Revision



(For all LOMR, CLOMR and PMR Requests)



This form should be used for revisions to effective FIS reports, FIRMs or FBFMs by individual and community requesters. These forms will provide FEMA with assurance that all pertinent data relating to the revision are included in the submittal. They also will ensure that: (a) the data and methodology are based on current conditions; (b) qualified professionals have assembled data and performed all necessary computations and (c) all individuals and organizations affected by proposed changes are aware of the changes and will have an opportunity to comment on them.
