  "term": "Conditional Letter of Map Revision",
  "field": "Insurance and risk management",
  "definition": "FEMA's comment on a proposed project that would, upon construction, affect the hydrologic or hydraulic characteristics of a flooding source and thus result in the modification of the existing regulatory floodway, the effective Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), or the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). The letter does not revise an effective NFIP map, it indicates whether the project, if built as proposed, would be recognized by FEMA. FEMA charges a fee for processing a CLOMR to recover the costs associated with the review.\n\nOnce a project has been completed, the community must request a revision to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) to reflect the project. \"As-built\" certification and other data must be submitted to support the revision request.\n\nNational Flood Insurance Program Requirements\n\n• 65.8 - Review of proposed projects\n\n• 72 - Procedures and fees for processing map changes",
