SUBJECT: Revised Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has made minor revisions to the Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form (SFHDF) 81-93 and the accompanying instructions. The new SFHDF contains an updated form expiration date of December 31, 2011, and the instructions have been modified to include the addition of the Department of Homeland Security as part of the address provided for those who want to send comments or suggestions concerning the estimated paperwork burden time.

The revised FEMA Form 81-93 is attached and is also available on FEMA's website (http://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/sfhdform.shtm). The use of the revised form is mandatory as of June 16, 2009, and the form should be distributed promptly to state member banks in your district.
