[Federal Register Volume 77, Number 216 (Wednesday, November 7, 2012)] [Proposed Rules] [Pages 66788-66790] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2012-27117] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency 44 CFR Part 67 [Docket ID FEMA-2011-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1214] Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS. ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On September 14, 2011, 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 76 FR 56724. The table provided here represents the flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and modified elevations, and communities affected for Rockland County, New York (All Jurisdictions). Specifically, it addresses the following flooding sources: Demarest Kill, East Branch Hackensack River, Golf Course Brook, Hackensack River, Hudson River, Minisceongo Creek, Nauraushaun Brook, North Branch Pascack Brook, Pascack Brook, Sparkill Creek, West Branch Hackensack River, and West Branch Saddle River. DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before February 5, 2013. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B- 1214, to Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-4064 or (email) [email protected]. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-4064 or (email) [email protected]. 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 [[Page 66789]] 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 minimum requirements. 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 also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final, and for the contents in those buildings. Correction In the proposed rule published at 76 FR 56724, in the September 14, 2011, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Rockland County, New York (All Jurisdictions)'' addressed the following flooding sources: Demarest Kill, East Branch Hackensack River, Golf Course Brook, Hackensack River, Minisceongo Creek, Nauraushaun Brook, North Branch Pascack Brook, Pascack Brook, Sparkill Creek, West Branch Hackensack River, and West Branch Saddle River. That table did not include the flooding source Hudson River. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Elevation in feet (NGVD) + Elevation in feet (NAVD)Location of referenced Depth in feet above Flooding source(s) elevation** ground [caret] Elevation Communities affected in meters (MSL) -------------------------- Effective Modified ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rockland County, New York (All Jurisdictions) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Demarest Kill.......................
