A LOMA is an official revision by letter to an effective NFIP map. A LOMA results from an administrative procedure that involves the review of scientific or technical data submitted by the owner or lessee of property who believes the property has incorrectly been included in a designated SFHA.

A LOMA is an official amendment, by letter, to an effective NFIP map. LOMAs were developed by FEMA so that a property owner may submit to materials to support the contention that a property, including its structures, is located above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). If FEMA concurs with the information provided by the property owner, then FEMA will usually issue a LOMA that removes the property from the SFHA.
