Abstract: FEMA collects scientific and technical data submissions to determine whether a specific property is located within or outside of a SFHA. If the property is determined not to be within a SFHA, FEMA provides a written determination and the appropriate map is modified by a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or a Letter of Map Revision – Based on Fill (LOMR-F), making it possible for the lending institution to waive the flood insurance requirement.
