[Docket No. FEMA–D–7563]
Changes in Flood Elevation
Determinations
Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA),
Emergency Preparedness and Response
Directorate, Department of Homeland
Security.
ACTION: Interim rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This interim rule lists
communities where modification of the
Base (1% annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs) is appropriate because
of new scientific or technical data. New
flood insurance premium rates will be
calculated from the modified BFEs for
new buildings and their contents.
DATES: These modified BFEs are
currently in effect on the dates listed in
the table and revise the Flood Insurance
Rate Map(s) (FIRMs) in effect prior to
this determination for each listed
community.
From the date of the second
publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any
person has ninety (90) days in which to
request through the community that the
Director reconsider the changes. The
modified elevations may be changed
during the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each
community are available for inspection
State and county
at the office of the Chief Executive
Officer of each community. The
respective addresses are listed in the
table below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Doug Bellomo, P.E., Hazard
Identification Section, Emergency
Preparedness and Response Directorate,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington,
DC 20472, (202) 646–2903.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
modified BFEs are not listed for each
community in this interim rule.
However, the address of the Chief
Executive Officer of the community
where the modified BFE determinations
are available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration must
be based upon knowledge of changed
conditions, or upon new scientific or
technical data.
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.
For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown
and must be used for all new policies
and renewals.
The modified BFEs are the basis for
the floodplain management measures
that the community is required to either
adopt or to show evidence of being
already in effect in order to qualify or
to remain qualified for participation in
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
These modified elevations, 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 changes in BFEs are in
accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
