Types of LOMCs—CLOMAs and LOMAs
| There are six types of LOMCs. This course will focus on Conditional Letters of Map Amendment (CLOMAs), Letters of Map Amendment (LOMAs), Conditional Letters of Map Revision--Based on Fill (CLOMR-Fs), and Letters of Map Revision--Based on Fill (LOMR-Fs). | Conditional Letter of Map Amendment (CLOMA)–A letter from 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. The CLOMA would determine whether a LOMA could be issued if the project is built as proposed in the CLOMA application (see Title 44, Chapter 1, Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 44 CFR Part 70 available at www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/44/part-70). Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA)–A letter from FEMA stating that an existing structure or parcel of land that has not been elevated by fill (natural ground) would not be inundated by the base flood (see 44 CFR Part 70).
