The <br />correct effective date for the FIS and FIRM is February 2, 2007. We apologize for any inconvenience this <br />error may have caused. <br />We remind you that by the effective date of the FIS and FIRM, February 2, 2007, your community must <br />adopt or show evidence,of adoption of floodplain management regulations that meet the standards of <br />Section 60.3(d) of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations in order to remain eligible to <br />participate in the NAP. If your community should encounter any difficulties enacting the floodplain <br />management measures, we encourage you to contact the Director, Federal Insurance and Mitigation <br />Division of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in Atlanta, Georgia at (770) 220-5400. <br />We look forward to working with the officials and residents of Orange County in assuring that the goals of <br />the NFIP are met. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />William R.
