Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 2, 2015, the Federal Emergency Mangement Agency
(FEMA) published in the Federal Register a notice that contained an
erroneous table. This notice provides a correction to that table, to be
used in lieu of the information published at 80 FR 53172-53173. The
table provided here lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood
Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway
[[Page 8090]]
(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 communities, 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 Letter of Map Revision (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 numbers are 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
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the communities 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 communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for the communities are available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository addresses listed in the table below. Additionally, the
current effective FIRM and FIS report for the communities are
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 communities in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository addresses 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 communities are 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 communities
must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The communities 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.
The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for the communities are available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository addresses listed in the table below. Additionally, the
current effective FIRM and FIS report for the communities are
accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
