How does EPA ensure that SFIP data continue to be accurate when the data are updated?
The accuracy of the data depends upon reliable reporting by states, local agencies, and industry. Accuracy also depends upon correct recording of information by regulatory agencies at local, state, and federal levels. EPA, in conjunction with the affected stakeholders, continues to work at improving the quality and consistency of the underlying data. EPA has set up an SFIP Hotline (617-520-3015) for users to ask questions about the data and has also established a “comment page” on the SFIP website for users to submit their comments instantly.
