AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice contains the

certain types of requests for changes to 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) maps, for processing requests for 

Flood Insurance Study (FIS) technical 

and administrative support data, and for

administrative support data related to 

FIS analyses and mapping; and

particular NFIP map and insurance

administrative support data, and 

requests for particular NFIP map and 

insurance products. 

Effective Dates. The revised fee 

schedule for map changes is effective for 

all requests dated October 30, 2005, or 

later. The revised fee schedule 

supersedes the current fee schedule, 

which was established on September 1, 

2002. 

The revised fee schedule for requests 

for FIS backup data also is effective for 

all requests dated October 30, 2005, or 

later. The revised fee schedule 

supersedes the current fee schedule,

for particular NFIP map and insurance 

products, which are available through 

the FEMA Map Service Center (MSC) is

Internet requests made through the

telephone requests received on or after 

October 30, 2005. The revised fee 

schedule supersedes the current fee 

schedule, which was established on 

August 1, 2003. 

Evaluations Performed. To develop 

the revised fee schedule for conditional 

and final map change requests, FEMA 

evaluated the actual costs of reviewing 

and processing requests for Conditional 

Letters of Map Amendment (CLOMAs), 

Conditional Letters of Map Revision 

Based on Fill (CLOMR–Fs), Conditional 

Letters of Map Revision (CLOMRs), 

Letters of Map Revision Based on Fill 

(LOMR–Fs), Letters of Map Revision 

(LOMRs), and Physical Map Revisions 

(PMRs). 

To develop the revised fee schedule 

requests for FIS technical and 

administrative support data, FEMA 

evaluated the actual costs of reviewing, 

reproducing, and distributing archived 

data in seven categories. These 

categories are discussed in more detail 

below. 

To develop the revised fee schedule 

for requests for particular NFIP map and 

insurance products, FEMA: (1) 

Evaluated the actual costs incurred at 

the MSC for producing, retrieving, and 

distributing those products; (2) analyzed 

historical sales, cost data, and product 

unit cost for unusual trends or 

anomalies; and (3) analyzed the effect of 

program changes, new products, 

technology investments, and other 

factors on future sales and product 

costs. The products covered by this 

notice are discussed in detail below. 

Periodic Evaluations of Fees. A 

primary component of the fees is the 

prevailing private-sector rates charged 

to FEMA for labor and materials. 

Because these rates and the actual 

review and processing costs may vary
