<br /> Letter of Map Change (LOMC)
<br /> An official determination issued by FEMA that amends or revises an effective Flood Insurance Rate Map
<br /> or Flood Insurance Study. Letters of Map Change include:
<br /> (a) Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA): An official amendment, by letter, to an effective National
<br /> Flood Insurance Program map. A LOMA is based on technical data showing that a property
<br /> had been inadvertently mapped as being in the floodplain, but is actually on natural high
<br /> ground above the base flood elevation. A LOMA amends the current effective Flood
<br /> Insurance Rate Map and establishes that a specific property, portion of a property, or
<br /> structure is not located in a special flood hazard area.
<br /> (b) Letter of Map Revision (LOMR): A revision based on technical data that may show changes
<br /> to flood zones, flood elevations, special flood hazard area boundaries and floodway
<br /> delineations, and other planimetric features.
<br /> (c) Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F): A determination that a structure or parcel of
<br /> land has been elevated by fill above the BFE and is, therefore, no longer located within the
<br /> special flood hazard area. In order to qualify for this determination, the fill must have been
<br /> permitted and placed in accordance with the community's floodplain management
