Work in or near waterways. <br />b. With exception of buildings or structures that are 45 years of age or older, theApplicant <br />does not need to notify FEMA when it intends to make changes that substantially <br />conform to the approved SOW. Changes that substantially conform include items, such <br />as: <br />i. Substitutions in material type (e.g., pre -cast concrete vs. steel beam, stainless <br />steel vs. galvanized fasteners); or <br />ii. Interior floor plan reconfigurations (e.g., adding, moving, or <br />removing rooms/features). <br />c. If the Applicant wishes to change the SOW to the extent that it changes the hazard <br />mitigation, such changes must be approved within the 18 -month deadline and the fixed - <br />cost offer amount will be adjusted to reflect the revised hazard mitigation SOW. <br />Page 4 of 8 FEMA Recovery Policy FP 1009-7 <br />42 <br />
