              TITLE 44--EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE
 
             CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
 
PART 70--PROCEDURE FOR MAP CORRECTION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 70.1  Purpose of part.

    The purpose of this part is to provide an administrative procedure 
whereby the Administrator will review the scientific or technical 
submissions of an owner or lessee of property who believes his property 
has been inadvertently included in designated A, AO, A1-30, AE, AH, A99, 
AR, AR/A1-30, AR/AE, AR/AO, AR/AH, AR/A, VO, V1-30, VE, and V Zones, as 
a result of the transposition of the curvilinear line to either street 
or to other readily identifiable features. The necessity for this part 
is due in part to the technical difficulty of accurately delineating the 
curvilinear line on either an FHBM or FIRM. These procedures shall not 
apply when there has been any alteration of topography since the 
effective date of the first NFIP map (i.e., FHBM or FIRM) showing the 
property within an area of special flood hazard. Appeals in such 
circumstances are subject to the provisions of part 65 of this 
subchapter.
