Appeal Period 1
Appeal Period 1 : The statutorily required 90-day period that is initiated when FEMA formally notifies community officials, residents, and other interested parties that FEMA is proposing new or modified Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and/or new or modified base flood depths. To start the appeal period, FEMA sends a letter to the Chief Executive Officer and floodplain administrator of the affected communities, publishes a notice twice in the local newspaper(s) with wide circulation, and publishes a notice (called a Proposed Rule) in the FEDERAL REGISTER. During the 90-day appeal period, which begins on the date of the second publication of the BFE notice in the local newspaper(s), community officials or owners or lessees of real property within the community may appeal the proposed or proposed modified BFEs and/or base flood depths by submitting scientific or technical data to show that those BFEs or base flood depths are scientifically or technically incorrect. The 90-day appeal period is statutory and cannot be extended for any reason
