This collection of information allows owners of structures that have been found to be in a designated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) the opportunity to request a review of this determination. With the submission of the appropriate documentation, FEMA will conduct a review of the structure in question and either certify the original finding or modify the designation so that it no longer indicates a SFHA identifier. If the structure is found to not be in a SFHA, FEMA will issue a written determination and modify the appropriate map by a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or a Letter of Map Revision  Based on Fill (LOMR-F). The structure then qualifies for a waiver of flood insurance.
