AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is
completing the update and conversion
to digital of the National Flood
Insurance Program flood hazard map
inventory. As part of the Flood Map
Modernization Program, FEMA will
discontinue the public distribution of
paper Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Flood
Insurance Study reports, and related
flood hazard map products.
FEMA will provide communities
where the flood hazard information is
updated with an updated paper map to
satisfy local regulatory requirements for
a paper map product.
For all other requests, FEMA will
distribute digital Flood Insurance Rate
Maps, Flood Insurance Study reports,
and related flood hazard map products
in place of the paper versions. Over the
past several years, FEMA has
transitioned from paper maps to digital
map images and digital flood hazard
data as the primary flood hazard
information products. These products
will still be available through the FEMA
Map Service Center. This change will
reduce duplication of effort and reduce
the cost for updating flood hazard maps.
DATES: This change is effective as of
October 1, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Information about FEMA
Flood Hazard Maps and Data is
available on the Map Service Center
Web site https://msc.fema.gov.

high risk flood areas to support the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP). These areas have historically
been identified on paper Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). Over the
past several years, FEMA has
introduced new digital products
including digital map images (the full
size FIRM Scans and letter size
FIRMettes) and digital geospatial flood
hazard data (the Digital Flood Insurance
Rate Map (DFIRM) Database product
and National Flood Hazard Layer
(NFHL)). These digital products now
make up the vast majority of the flood
hazard information distributed by
FEMA and are equivalent to the paper
maps for any official activities under the
NFIP.
FEMA will continue to provide local
governments a paper copy of their flood
hazard map and flood insurance study
report when the map is updated by
FEMA. FEMA will discontinue all other
distribution of paper maps and study
reports beginning with map update
projects where the letter of final
determination is issued on or after
October 1, 2009. The letter of final
determination is issued six months
before new flood maps become effective
for NFIP regulatory purposes.
FEMA will continue to provide digital
flood hazard data products for Internet
download, on CD–ROM, and via Web
Mapping Service. Federal, State, and
local government customers that have
been receiving paper products will now
receive digital flood hazard maps and
data, and continue to be exempt from
fees (specified in 42 U.S.C. 4101).
This change will allow FEMA to
realize significant cost savings in the
map update process by eliminating the
need to generate large format film
negatives to support offset printing. It
will also save the cost of printing and
distributing the paper maps to fee
exempt customers. This change
simplifies the products available
depicting flood hazard for a location.
The FEMA Map Service Center
provides complete information about
the digital flood hazard data products,
free tools, and easy-to-follow
instructions for using them at https://
msc.fema.gov.

follows:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of North Carolina
resulting from Tropical Storm Hanna during
the period of September 4–15, 2008, is of
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant
a major disaster declaration under the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency

Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare that such
a major disaster exists in the State of North
Carolina.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you
are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Public
Assistance in the designated areas, Hazard
Mitigation throughout the State, and any
other forms of assistance under the Stafford
Act that you deem appropriate. Consistent
with the requirement that Federal assistance
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided
under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation
will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs. Federal funds provided under
the Stafford Act for Public Assistance also
will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs, except for any particular
projects that are eligible for a higher Federal
cost-sharing percentage under the FEMA
Public Assistance Pilot Program instituted
pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 777. If Other Needs
