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.
