maps of sufficient scale to identify the location of building sites.
(b) Provide such information as the Administrator may request concerning
present uses and occupancy of the flood plain.
(c) Cooperate with Federal, State, and local agencies and private firms
which undertake to study, survey, map, and identify flood plain areas and cooperate
