PART 72_PROCEDURES AND FEES FOR PROCESSING MAP CHANGES--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 72.2  Definitions.



    Except as otherwise provided in this part, the definitions in 44 CFR 

part 59 are applicable to this part. For the purposes of this part, the 

products are defined as follows:

    CLOMA. A CLOMA is FEMA's comment on a proposed structure or group of 

structures that would, upon construction, be located on existing natural 

ground above the base (1-percent-annual-chance) flood elevation on a 

portion of a legally defined parcel of land that is partially inundated 

by the base flood.

    CLOMR. A CLOMR is FEMA's comment on a proposed project that would, 

upon construction, affect the hydrologic or hydraulic characteristics of 

a flooding source and thus result in the modification of the existing 

regulatory floodway, the effective base flood elevations, or the Special 

Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).

    CLOMR-F. A CLOMR-F is FEMA's comment on a proposed project that 

would, upon construction, result in a modification of the SFHA through 

the placement of fill outside the existing regulatory floodway.

    LOMR. A LOMR is FEMA's modification to an effective Flood Insurance 

Rate Map (FIRM), or Flood Boundary and Floodway Map (FBFM), or both. 

LOMRs are generally based on the implementation of physical measures 

that affect the hydrologic or hydraulic characteristics of a flooding 

source and thus result in the modification of the existing regulatory 

floodway, the effective base flood elevations, or the SFHA. The LOMR 

officially revises the FIRM or FBFM, and sometimes the Flood Insurance 

Study (FIS) report, and, when appropriate, includes a description of the 

modifications. The LOMR is generally accompanied by an annotated copy of 

the affected portions of the FIRM, FBFM, or FIS report.

    LOMR-F. A LOMR-F is FEMA's modification of the SFHA shown on the 

FIRM based on the placement of fill outside the existing regulatory 

floodway.

    PMR. A PMR is FEMA's physical revision and republication of an 

effective FIRM, FBFM, or FIS report. PMRs are generally based on 

physical measures that affect the hydrologic or hydraulic 

characteristics of a flooding source and thus result in the modification 

of the existing regulatory floodway, the effective base flood 

elevations, or the SFHA.
