SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed
determinations of Base (1-percentannual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs)

participating in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP), in
accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).

Correction
In proposed rule FR Doc. 07–3615,
beginning on page 40791 in the issue of
July 25, 2007, make the following
corrections, in the table published
under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. On
page 40791, in § 67.4, in the table with
center heading Henderson County,
North Carolina, and Incorporated Areas,
the flooding source, location of
referenced elevation, the effective and
modified elevation in feet and the
communities affected for flooding
source ‘‘Boylston Creek’’, needs to be
corrected to read as follows:
* Elevation in feet (NGVD)
+ Elevation in feet (NAVD)
# Depth in feet above
ground
Effective

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 BFEs 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.

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce the
reopening of the public comment period
on the proposed rule and draft
environmental assessment regarding our
proposal to establish a nonessential
experimental population of Rio Grande
silvery minnow (Hybognathus amarus),
a Federally listed endangered fish, into
its historic habitat in the Big Bend reach
of the Rio Grande in Presidio, Brewster,
and Terrell counties, Texas.
Comments previously submitted on
the proposed rule or draft EA need not
be resubmitted as they have been
incorporated into the public record and
will be fully considered in preparation
of the final rule and final environmental
assessment.
DATES: We will accept public comments
received or postmarked on or before
March 10, 2008.

Jkt 214001
We propose to reestablish the Rio
Grande silvery minnow under section
10(j) of the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (Act), and to classify
it as a nonessential experimental
population (NEP) (72 FR 50918). On the
Rio Grande, the geographic boundaries
of the NEP would extend from Little
Box Canyon downstream of Fort
Quitman, Hudspeth County, Texas,
through Big Bend National Park and the
Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River, to
Amistad Dam and the nearby railroad
bridge (Big Bend reach of the Rio
Grande). On the Pecos River, the
geographic boundaries of the NEP
would extend from the river’s
confluence with Independence Creek to
its confluence with the Rio Grande. This
proposed reestablishment is part of the
recovery actions that the Service,
Federal and State agencies, and other
partners are conducting throughout the
species’ historic range. The proposed
rule provides a plan for establishing the
NEP and provides for limited allowable
legal taking of Rio Grande silvery
minnows within the defined NEP area.
A draft environmental assessment (EA)
has been prepared on this proposed
action and is available for comment (see
ADDRESSES section below).
For background and other information
on the proposed rule and draft EA, refer
to our notice published in the Federal
Register on September 5, 2007 (72 FR
50918).
Public Comments Solicited
On September 5, 2007, we published
a proposed rule, notice of availability of
a draft environmental assessment, and
notice of a public hearing regarding our
proposal to establish a nonessential
experimental population of the Rio
Grande silvery minnow in the Big Bend
reach of the Rio Grande in Texas (72 FR
50918). We accepted public comments
regarding the proposed rule and draft
environmental assessment for 60 days,

ending November 5, 2007. During the
comment period, we held a public
hearing on October 10, 2007, in Alpine,
Texas. In response to requests from
interested parties, we are reopening the
comment period for an additional 15
days (see DATES) to offer all interested
parties an opportunity to submit data
and information to be considered in
developing a final rule and final EA.
We want the final rule to be as
effective as possible and the final EA on
the proposed action to evaluate all
potential issues associated with this
action. Therefore, we invite the public,
Tribal and government agencies, the
scientific community, industry, and
other interested parties to submit
comments or recommendations not
previously submitted concerning any
aspect of the proposed rule and the draft
EA. Comments should be as specific as
possible.
To issue a final rule to implement this
proposed action and to determine
whether to prepare a finding of no
significant impact or an environmental
impact statement, we will take into
consideration all comments and any
additional information we receive. Such
communications may lead to a final rule
that differs from this proposal.
You may submit your comments and
materials concerning the proposed rule
and draft EA by one of the methods
listed in the ADDRESSES section. We will
not accept comments sent by e-mail or
fax or to an address not listed in the
ADDRESSES section. We will not accept
anonymous comments; your comments
must include your first and last name,
city, State, country, and postal (zip)
code. Finally, we will not consider
hand-delivered comments that we do
not receive, or mailed comments that
are not postmarked by the date specified
in the DATES section. Comments must be
submitted to
https://www.regulations.gov before
midnight (Eastern Standard Time) on
the date specified in the DATES section.
We will post your entire comment—
including your personal identifying
information—on https://
www.regulations.gov. If you provide
personal identifying information in
addition to the required items specified
on the previous paragraph, such as your
street address, phone number, or e-mail
address, you may request at the top of
your document we withhold this
information from public review.
However, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
Comments and materials we receive,
as well as supporting documentation we
used in preparing this proposed rule,
will be available for public inspection
on https://www.regulations.gov, or by
