44 CFR Part 67
[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1016]
Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On November 5, 2008, FEMA published in the Federal Register a
proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides
corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information
published at 73 FR 65811. The table provided here represents the
flooding source, location of referenced elevation, effective and
modified elevation, and communities affected for Kankakee County,
Illinois and Incorporated Areas. Specifically, it addresses flooding
source South Branch Rock Creek.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3151 or (e-mail) bill.blanton@dhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities participating
in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established
by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed
elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made
final, and for the contents in these buildings.
Correction
In the proposed rule published at 73 FR 65811, in the November 5,
2008 issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Kankakee County,
Illinois and Incorporated Areas'' addressed flooding source South
Branch Rock Creek. That table contained inaccurate information as to
the location of referenced elevation, effective and modified elevation
in feet, or communities affected for these flooding sources. In this
notice, FEMA is publishing a table containing the accurate information,
to address these prior errors. The information provided below should be
used in lieu of that previously published.
