[Docket No. FEMA-2014-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1413]
Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency; DHS.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 13, 2014, FEMA published in the Federal Register a
proposed flood hazard determination notice that contained an erroneous
table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in
lieu of the information published at 79 FR 27339. The table provided
here represents the proposed flood hazard determinations and
communities affected for Plumas County, California, and Incorporated
Areas.
DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before October 27, 2014.
ADDRESSES: The Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where
applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for each community
are 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 each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1413, to
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].
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: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed in the table below, 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 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. These flood
hazard determinations 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 the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP may only be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the table below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard determinations
[[Page 43766]]
shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report that satisfies the data
requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered an appeal.
Comments unrelated to the flood hazard determinations will also be
considered before the FIRM and FIS report are made final.
Correction
In the proposed flood hazard determination notice published at 79
FR 27339 in the May 13, 2014, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table titled ``Plumas County, California, and Incorporated
Areas''. This table contained inaccurate information as to the
community map repository for the Unincorporated Areas of Plumas County
featured in the table. In this document, FEMA is publishing a table
containing the accurate information. The information provided below
should be used in lieu of that previously published.
