Bill > HR3800

This bill amends the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to prohibit the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from deferring the issuance of two specific types of documents related to flood maps: Letters of Map Revision (LOMR) and Conditional Letters of Map Revision (CLOMR), both of which involve the placement of fill in flood-prone areas. The bill requires FEMA to process and issue these map revision documents without delay, ensuring that property owners have accurate flood risk information. The amendment will remain in effect until FEMA fully implements biological opinions from the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration regarding the environmental impact of fill placement in flood zones. By preventing administrative delays in map revisions, the bill aims to provide homeowners and communities with more timely and accurate flood risk assessments, which can impact insurance costs and property development decisions.
