Box 1230 Montana Bozeman,Montana 59771 Community No.: 300028 Map Panels Affected: See FIRM Index Dear Mayor Andrus: On September 6, 2018,you were notified of proposed modified flood hazard determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study(FIS)report for Gallatin County, Montana and Incorporated Areas. The statutory 90-day appeal period that was initiated on September 20,2018, when the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice of the proposed flood hazard determinations for your community in the Bozeman Daily Chronical,has elapsed. FEMA received no valid requests for changes in the proposed flood hazard determinations. Therefore, the determination of the Agency as to the flood hazard information for your community is considered final. FEMA will publish a notice of final flood hazard determinations in the Federal Register as soon as possible. The modified flood hazard information and revised map panels for your community will be effective as of April 21, 2021 and will revise the FIRM that was in effect prior to that date. For insurance rating purposes,the community number and new suffix code for the panels being revised are indicated above and on the maps and must be used for all new policies and renewals. Final printed copies of the report and maps will be mailed to you before the effective date. The modifications are pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-234) and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Because of the modifications to the FIRM and FIS report for your community made by this map revision, certain additional requirements must be met under Section 1361 of the 1968 Act, as amended,within 6 months from the date of this letter. Prior to April 21,2021, your community is required,as a condition of continued eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP),to adopt or show evidence of adoption of floodplain management regulations that meet the standards of Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. These standards are the minimum requirements and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. It must be emphasized that all the standards specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations must be enacted in a legally enforceable document. This includes the adoption of the effective FIRM and FIS report to which the regulations apply and the modifications made by this map revision. Some of the standards should already have been enacted by your community. Any additional requirements can be met by taking one of the following actions: 1. Amending existing regulations to incorporate any additional requirements of Paragraph 60.3(d); 2 2. Adopting all the standards of Paragraph 60.3(d) into one new,comprehensive set of regulations; or 3. Showing evidence that regulations have previously been adopted that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of Paragraph 60.3(d). Communities that fail to enact the necessary floodplain management regulations will be suspended from participation in the NFIP and subject to the prohibitions contained in Section 202(a)of the 1973 Act as amended. A Consultation Coordination Officer(CCO)has been designated to assist your community with any difficulties you may be encountering in enacting the floodplain management regulations. The CCO will be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For information about your CCO,please contact: Jeanine D. Petterson Mitigation Division Director Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VIII Federal Center Building 710 P.O. Box 25267 Denver, Colorado 80225-0267 (303)235-4830 To assist your community in maintaining the FIRM, we have enclosed a Summary of Map Actions (SOMA) to document previous Letter of Map Change (LOMC)actions (i.e., Letters of Map Amendment [LOMAs],Letters of Map Revision [LOMRs]) that will be superseded when the revised FIRM panels referenced above become effective. Information on LOMCs is presented in the following four categories: (1) LOMCs for which results have been included on the revised FIRM panels; (2) LOMCs for which results could not be shown on the revised FIRM panels because of scale limitations or because the LOMC issued had determined that the lots or structures involved were outside the Special Flood Hazard Area as shown on the FIRM; (3) LOMCs for which results have not been included on the revised FIRM panels because the flood hazard information on which the original determinations were based are being superseded by new flood hazard information; and(4) LOMCs issued for multiple lots or structures where the determination for one or more of the lots or structures cannot be revalidated through an administrative process like the LOMCs in Category 2 above. LOMCs in Category 2 will be revalidated through a single letter that reaffirms the validity of a previously issued LOMC; the letter will be sent to your community shortly before the effective date of the revised FIRM and will become effective 1 day after the revised FIRM becomes effective. For the LOMCs listed in Category 4,we will review the data previously submitted for the LOMA or LOMR request and issue a new determination for the affected properties after the revised FIRM becomes effective. The FIRM panels have been computer-generated. Once the FIRM and FIS report are printed and distributed,the digital files containing the flood hazard data for the entire county can be provided to your community for use in a computer mapping system. These files can be used in conjunction with other thematic data for floodplain management purposes,insurance purchase and rating requirements,and many other planning applications. Copies of the digital files or paper copies of the FIRM panels may be obtained by calling our FEMA Mapping and Insurance eXchange (FMIX), toll free, at 1-877 FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627). In addition,your community may be eligible for additional credits under our Community Rating System if you implement your activities using digital mapping files. 3 If you have any questions regarding the necessary floodplain management measures for your community or the NFIP in general,we urge you to call the Director,Mitigation Division of FEMA Region VIII,in Denver, Colorado, at(303)235-4830 for assistance. If you have any questions concerning mapping issues in general,please call our FMIX at the toll free number shown above. Additional information and resources your community may find helpful regarding the NFIP and floodplain management, such as The National Flood Insurance Program Code of Federal Regulations,Answers to Questions About the National Flood Insurance Program,Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Effects that Revised Flood Hazards have on Existing Structures, Use of Flood Insurance Study (FIS)Data as Available Data, and National Flood Insurance Program Elevation Certificate and Instructions, can be found on our website at https://www.fema.gov/letter-final-determination. Paper copies of these documents may also be obtained by calling our FMIX.

LOMCs To Be Redetermined The LOMCs in Category 2 above will be revalidated through a single revalidation letter that reaffirms the validity of the determination in the previously issued LOMC. For LOMCs issued for multiple lots or structures where the determination for one or more of the lots or structures is no longer valid, the LOMC cannot be revalidated through this administrative process. Therefore, we will review the data previously submitted for the LOMC requests listed below and if appropriate issue a new determination for the affected properties after the effective date of the revised FIRM.
