proposed Base (1% annual chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed
BFEs modifications for the communities
listed below. The BFEs are the basis for
the floodplain management measures
that the community is required either to

already in effect in order to qualify or
remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
The comment period is ninety

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency

determinations of BFEs and modified
BFEs for each community listed 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 BFEs and modified
BFEs, 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
proposed elevations 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 these elevations are
made final, and for the contents in these
buildings.
