Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and sent via electronic 
mail to oira.submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395-5806.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the information collection should be made to Director, 
Records Management Division, 1800 South Bell Street, Arlington, VA 
20598-3005, facsimile number (202) 646-3347, or e-mail address FEMA-
Information-Collections-Management@dhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: One comment was received in response to the 
60-day Federal Register Notice published July 27, 2010, 75 FR 43998. 
The comment asked for clarification on the difference in notification 
requirements for Letter of Map Revisions (LOMRs) and Physical Map 
Revisions (PMRs). The reason for the difference is explained in FEMA 
Form 086-0-27A (formerly FEMA Form 81-89A), Riverine Hydrology and 
Hydraulics Form. The commenter also was concerned that the notification 
is costly and time consuming and mentioned that the notifications must 
be sent using certified mail, but that is not a requirement.
