Sec. 65.16  Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form and Instructions.

    (a) Section 528 of the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 
(42 U.S.C. 1365(a)) directs FEMA to develop a standard form for 
determining, in the case of a loan secured by improved real estate or a 
mobile home, whether the building or mobile home is located in an area 
identified by the Director as an area having special flood hazards and 
in which flood insurance under this title is available. The purpose of 
the form is to determine whether a building or mobile home is located 
within an identified Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), whether flood 
insurance is required, and whether federal flood insurance is available. 
Use of this form will ensure that required flood insurance coverage is 
purchased for structures located in an SFHA, and will assist federal 
entities for lending regulation in assuring compliance with these 
purchase requirements.
    (b) The form is available by written request to Federal Emergency 
Management Agency, PO Box 2012, Jessup, MD 20794; ask for the Standard 
Flood Hazard Determination form. It is also available by fax-on-demand; 
call (202) 646-3362, form 23103. Finally, the form is available 
through the Internet at http://www.fema.gov/nfip/mpurfi.htm.
