Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter

    Title: Application Form for Single Lot or Structure Amendments to 
National Flood Insurance Program Maps.

    Abstract: Requesters complete and Licensed Land Surveyors or 
Professional Engineers certify FEMA Form 81-92 or 81-92A to request 
that FEMA remove a single structure or a legally recorded parcel of 
land or portions thereof from a designated SFHA via a Letter of Map 
Amendment (LOMA). A SFHA is an area that would be inundated by a flood 
event that has a one-percent-annual-chance of being equaled or exceeded 
in any given year (base flood). FEMA uses the information provided in 
FEMA Form 81-92 or 81-92A to make a LOMA determination. A LOMA is a 
letter from FEMA stating that an existing structure or parcel of land 
that has not been elevated by fill would not be inundated by the base 
flood. Fill is defined as a material placed to raise the ground to or 
above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE).

lessees); business or other for-profit (Licensed Land Surveyors or 
Professional Engineers).
