       Mapping Deficiencies Unrelated to Community-Wide Elevation 

                             Determinations





    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.
