Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed
BFE modifications for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose
of this notice is to seek general
information and comment regarding the
proposed regulatory flood elevations for
the reach described by the downstream
and upstream locations in the table
below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are
a part of the floodplain management
measures that the community is
required either to adopt or show
evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for
participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition,
these elevations, once finalized, will be
used by insurance agents, and others to

community is available for inspection at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make
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).
Flooding source(s)
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.
Comments on any aspect of the Flood
Insurance Study and FIRM, other than
the proposed BFEs, will be considered.
A letter acknowledging receipt of any
comments will not be sent.
National Environmental Policy Act.
This proposed rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44
CFR part 10, Environmental
Consideration. An environmental
impact assessment has not been
prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood
elevation determinations are not within
the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, a regulatory
flexibility analysis is not required.
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review. This proposed
rule is not a significant regulatory action
under the criteria of section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, as amended.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism.
This proposed rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform. This proposed rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order
12988.
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67

procedure, Flood insurance, Reporting
and recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, 44 CFR part 67 is

SUMMARY: FEMA is correcting a table for

VerDate Nov<24>2008

These proposed elevations are used to

buildings built after these elevations are
made final, and for the contents in these
buildings.
The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes determinations of
Base (1% annual-chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for
communities 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). These proposed BFEs and
modified BFEs, together with the
floodplain management criteria required
by 44 CFR 60.3, are minimum
requirements. 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.

FEMA is correcting a table in a
proposed rule which published on
September 8, 2009, at 74 FR 46047. The
table for Carroll County, Arkansas, and
Incorporated Areas contained incorrect
information for the flooding source
‘‘Leatherwood Creek.’’
The September 8, 2009, proposed rule
contained a table entitled ‘‘Carroll
County, Arkansas, and Incorporated
Areas,’’ which contained errors. For
flooding source ‘‘Leatherwood Creek,’’
the table contained inaccurate
information as to the communities
affected. FEMA is now publishing a
revised table for Carroll County,
Arkansas, and Incorporated Areas,
containing the accurate information, to
address these prior errors. The
information provided in the table below
should be used in lieu of the table
published on September 8, 2009.
