Sec. 65.4  Right to submit new technical data.

    (a) A community has a right to request changes to any of the 
information shown on an effective map that does not impact flood plain 
or floodway delineations or base flood elevations, such as community 
boundary changes, labeling, or planimetric details. Such a submission 
shall include appropriate supporting documentation in accordance with 
this part and may be submitted at any time.
    (b) All requests for changes to effective maps, other than those 
initiatedby FEMA, must be made in writing by the Chief Executive Officer 
of the community (CEO) or an official designated by the CEO. Should the 
CEO refuse to submit such a request on behalf of another party, FEMA 
will agree to review it only if written evidence is provided indicating 
the CEO or designee has been requested to do so.
    (c) Requests for changes to effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps 
(FIRMs) and Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps (FBFMs) are subject to the 
cost recovery procedures described in 44 CFR part 72. As indicated in 
part 72, revisions requested to correct mapping errors or errors in the 
Flood Insurance Study analysis are not to be subject to the cost-
recovery procedures.
