FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY:
STANDARD FLOOD HAZARD DETERMINATION FORM
To State Member Banks
in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District
Final Rule and Request for Comment Regarding Flood Hazard Form
In the May 21, 1998, Federal Register, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) published a final
rule and notice
(vol. 63, no. 98; pp. 27856-27857) regarding the Standard Flood Hazard
Determination form.
The final rule removes from FEMA's regulations the appendix that contains
the Standard Flood Hazard Determination form. This action will enable
the agency to incorporate changes to the form outside of the rulemaking
process. The final rule also provides information about how to obtain
copies of the form by written request, though fax-on-demand, and through
FEMA's Internet site. The rule became effective on May 21, 1998.
The notice requests comments from the public about proposed changes to
the Standard Flood Hazard Determination form. Comment is requested by
July 20, 1998.

Copies of the FEMA final rule and request for comment (including the
Standard Flood Hazard Determination form amended to show the proposed
changes) are available from our Corporate Services Department. To request
