On June 7,
2007, FEMA published at 72 FR 31460
a removal of the interim change in flood
elevation determination for the
Unincorporated areas of Frederick
County, Maryland, Case No. 06–03–
B384P, Community Number 240027,
published at 72 FR 271 on January 4,
2007. Inadvertently, the change in flood
elevation for the Unincorporated areas
of Frederick County, Maryland, Case
No. 06–03–B384P, Community Number
240027, was published as a final rule in
72 FR 27746 on May 17, 2007.
As previously stated in 72 FR 31460,
during the 90-day appeal period, FEMA
received an appeal submitted by a
property owner located within the
revised area. After further investigation,
it was found that the aforementioned
flooding sources had been revised for
the countywide map revision for
Frederick County, Maryland, currently
scheduled to go into effect in September
2007. When comparing the Letter of
Map Revision (LOMR) modeling to the
countywide restudy, it was determined
that the modeling for the countrywide
restudy more accurately represented
existing conditions. Therefore, the
LOMR was rescinded to eliminate the
potential of incorrect flood insurance
determinations along the revised
flooding sources.
Accordingly, the final flood elevation
determination inadvertently published
at 72 FR 27746 on May 17, 2007 for the
Unincorporated areas of Frederick
County, Maryland, Case No. 06–03–
B384P, Community No. 240027, is
hereby removed.

however, FEMA asserts, for the reasons

implementation of this action to await
public notice and comment is
