Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 13, 2014, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) published in the Federal Register a notice that contained an
erroneous table. Specifically, this notice provides a correction to
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) case number 13-06-3803P for the City of
Denton, Denton County, Texas, to be used in lieu of the information
published at 79 FR 27332. The table provided here lists a community
where the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood
depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by FEMA for the community, is appropriate because of
new scientific or technical data. The FIRM, and where applicable,
portions of the FIS report, have been revised to reflect these flood
hazard determinations through issuance of a LOMR, in accordance with
Title 44, part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR part 65).
The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.
DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
date listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed community.
From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90)
days in which to request through the community that the Deputy
Associate Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.
ADDRESSES: The affected community is listed in the table below. Revised
flood hazard information for the community is available for inspection
at both the online location and the respective community map repository
address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current effective
FIRM and FIS report for the community is accessible online through the
FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-4064, or
(email) [email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for the community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
These flood hazard determinations, 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. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
[[Page 38925]]
The affected community is listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for the community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for the community is accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
