§ 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.
