publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any
person has ninety (90) days in which to
request through the community that the
Mitigation Division Director for the
Emergency Preparedness and Response
Directorate reconsider the changes. The

community in this interim rule.
However, the address of the Chief

where the modified BFE determinations
are available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration must
be based on knowledge of changed
conditions or new scientific or technical
data.
