[Federal Register Volume 77, Number 237 (Monday, December 10, 2012)] [Proposed Rules] [Pages 73398-73400] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2012-29684] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency 44 CFR Part 67 [Docket ID FEMA-2010-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1085] Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS. ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On February 5, 2010, 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 75 FR 5909. The table provided here represents the flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and modified elevations, and communities affected for Webster County, Kentucky, and Incorporated Areas. Specifically, it addresses the following flooding sources: Bailey Ditch (backwater effects from Green River), Deer Creek (backwater effects from Green River), East Fork Deer Creek Tributary 1 (backwater effects from Green River), Green River, Green River Tributary 219 (backwater effects from Green River), Groves Creek (backwater effects from Green River), Knoblick Creek (backwater effects from Green River), Mock Roy Creek (backwater effects from Green River), and Pitman Creek (backwater effects from Green River). DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before March 11, 2013. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B- 1085, 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 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. Corrections In the proposed rule published at 75 FR 5909, in the February 5, 2010, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Webster County, Kentucky, and Incorporated Areas'' addressed the following flooding sources: Bailey Ditch (backwater effects from Green River), Deer Creek (backwater effects from Green River), East Fork Deer Creek Tributary 1 (backwater effects from Green River), Green River, Green River [[Page 73399]] Tributary 219 (backwater effects from Green River), Groves Creek (backwater effects from Green River), Knoblick Creek (backwater effects from Green River), Mock Roy Creek (backwater effects from Green River), and Pitman Creek (backwater effects from Green River). That table contained inaccurate information as to the communities affected for the flooding sources Green River and Mock Roy Creek (backwater effects from Green 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 ground [caret] Communities Flooding source(s) elevation Elevation in meters (MSL) affected -------------------------------------- Effective Modified ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Webster County, Kentucky, and Incorporated Areas ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bailey Ditch (backwater effects From the confluence None +387 Unincorporated from Green River). with Knoblick Creek Areas of Webster to approximately 0.93 County. mile upstream of the confluence with Knoblick Creek.
