Got this in an email from our surface water guys:
Some communities have noted that the FEMA Elevation Certificate form now in use has an expiration date of July 31, 2015. Please let your surveyors and others know that the Office of Management and Budget has extended the expiration date to October 31, 2015, while it continues its review of the proposed new form.
OMB has indicated it will issue additional 30-day extensions for the Elevation Certificate form until the OMB review is done. At that time, the new form will become available. Until then, the current form is still valid under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Online and downloadable versions of the Elevation Certificate can be found athttp://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTUxMDI3LjUwNzIyMTkxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE1MTAyNy41MDcyMjE5MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NTg0NDc2JmVtYWlsaWQ9ZGRpeG9uQGNvLnBpZXJjZS53YS51cyZ1c2VyaWQ9ZGRpeG9uQGNvLnBpZXJjZS53YS51cyZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&102&&&https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/160&apos ;"> https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/160 .
Does anyone know if the new certificate will ask for additional info (Field work) beyond the current one ?
I've got some coming up and I'm sure I will be asked (building dept) to fill out the new form when it arrives.
It would be nice have to have the field data at hand for this.
Looks like they have now extended the date to November 30, 2015.
As I understand it, there are two revisions. A new 2B building diagram and a check box to indicate if the property is in a LiMWA area plus instructions to provide information in the comments section.
When a new certificate is released there is still a 1 year transition period where the old one can be used.
