A signed Community Acknowledgement form is required for CLOMR-Fs, LOMR-Fs and when a LOMA application involves an area that was inadvertently included within the floodway.

For LOMR-F and CLOMR‐F requests, only Section A needs to be completed. For LOMA requests in which the property has been inadvertently included within the regulatory floodway, only Section B needs to be completed.

A signed Community Acknowledgement Form indicates to FEMA that:

• All necessary permits were obtained
• The applicant is in compliance with local ordinances and NFIP regulations
• Fill does not result in a floodway encroachment
• The community is aware of actions that can potentially impact floodplains
• The LOMC does not undermine the authority of the community
• Development will be/is reasonably safe from flooding
