New Address for LOMC submissions and Launch of LOMC Clearinghouse

Effective July 9, 2009, FEMA’s Customer and Data Services (CDS) will launch the Letters of Map Change (LOMC) Clearinghouse, which will centralize the administrative functions associated with processing MT-EZ, MT-1 and MT-2 requests. Specific activities include creation of LOMC case files, upload and scanning of data, processing of associated fees, and distribution to the appropriate Production and Technical Services (PTS) firm for processing.

As a result, there is a new mailing address. Beginning immediately, requestors should mail their applications and supporting data to:

LOMC Clearinghouse
6730 Santa Barbara Court
Elkridge, MD 21075
Attn: LOMC Manager

Implementation of the LOMC Clearinghouse will benefit FEMA and its customers in several ways:

• Supports FEMA’s overall vision to move from a paper-based process to an all-digital process
• Leverages existing systems already available through FEMA’s Map Service Center (such as Automated Clearing House payment options and refunds), which provides more convenient and efficient fee processing options
• Keeps fee payment information with the LOMC case file from the beginning, which allows for faster and easier tracking

For more information about the LOMC Clearinghouse, please contact FEMA’s Map Assistance Center at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627) or e-mail a Map Specialist at FEMAMapSpecialist@riskmapcds.com.
