FEMA Form MT1 PDF Details

Navigating the complexities of flood zone amendments and revisions involves various forms and procedures, among which the FEMA MT-1 form plays a crucial role. Under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) uses this form for property owners or their agents, including licensed land surveyors and registered professional engineers, to support requests for amendments or revisions to the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). Such requests can be for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA), a Conditional Letter of Map Amendment (CLOMA), a Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F), or a Conditional Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (CLOMR-F). The form necessitates detailed property information, a disclosure of whether fill has been or will be placed to elevate the property out of the flood zone, and acknowledgment of compliance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) when applicable. Equally important, the process demands precise documentation including maps, deeds, and elevation certificates, alongside a non-refundable processing fee for certain types of requests. This meticulous documentation and validation process aims to accurately assess flood risks, thereby potentially exempting properties from the requirement to purchase flood insurance or adjusting insurance premium rates based on revised flood risk evaluations.

Public reporting burden for this data collection is estimated to average 1.63 hours per response. The burden estimate includes the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the needed data, and completing and submitting the form. This collection is required to obtain or retain benefits. You are not required to respond to this collection of information unless a valid OMB control number is displayed on this form. Send comments regarding the accuracy of the burden estimate and any suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collections Management, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 1800 South Bell Street, Arlington, VA 20598-3005, Paperwork Reduction Project (1660-0015). NOTE: Do not send your completed form to this address.

This form may be completed by the property owner, property owner’s agent, licensed land surveyor, or registered professional engineer to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA), Conditional Letter of Map Amendment (CLOMA), Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F), or Conditional Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (CLOMR-F) for existing or proposed, single or multiple lots/structures. In order to process your request, all information on this form must be completed in its entirety, unless stated as optional. Incomplete submissions will result in processing delays. Please check the item below that describes your request:

A letter from DHS-FEMA stating that an existing structure or parcel of land that has not been elevated by fill (natural grade) would not be inundated by the base flood.

A letter from DHS-FEMA stating that a proposed structure that is not to be elevated by fill (natural grade) would not be inundated by the base flood if built as proposed.

A letter from DHS-FEMA stating that an existing structure or parcel of land that has been elevated by fill would not be inundated by the base flood.

A letter from DHS-FEMA stating that a parcel of land or proposed structure that will be elevated by fill would not be inundated by the base flood if fill is placed on the parcel as proposed or the structure is built as proposed.

Fill is defined as material from any source (including the subject property) placed that raises the ground to or above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). The common construction practice of removing unsuitable existing material (topsoil) and backfilling with select structural material is not considered the placement of fill if the practice does not alter the existing (natural grade) elevation, which is at or above the BFE. Fill that is placed before the date of the first National Flood Insurance

Program (NFIP) map showing the area in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) is considered natural grade.

A. REQUESTS INVOLVING THE PLACEMENT OF FILL

As the community official responsible for floodplain management, I hereby acknowledge that we have received and reviewed this Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F) or Conditional LOMR-F request. Based upon the community's review, we find the completed or proposed project meets or is designed to meet all of the community floodplain management requirements, including the requirement that no fill be placed in the regulatory floodway, and that all necessary Federal, State, and local permits have been, or in the case of a Conditional LOMR-F, will be obtained. For Conditional LOMR-F requests, the applicant has or will document Endangered Species Act (ESA) compliance to FEMA prior to issuance of the

Conditional LOMR-F determination. For LOMR-F requests, I acknowledge that compliance with Sections 9 and 10 of the ESA has been achieved independently of FEM!’s process/ Section 9 of the ES! prohibits anyone from “taking” or harming an endangered species/ If an action might harm

an endangered species, a permit is required from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service under Section 10 of the ESA. For actions authorized, funded, or being carried out by Federal or State agencies, documentation from the agency showing its compliance with Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA will be submitted. In addition, we have determined that the land and any existing or proposed structures to be removed from the SFHA are or will be reasonably safe from flooding as defined in 44CFR 65.2(c), and that we have available upon request by DHS-FEMA, all analyses and documentation used to make this determination. For LOMR-F requests, we understand that this request is being forwarded to DHS- FEMA for a possible map revision.
