SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed
determinations of Base (1% annualchance) 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

29JYP1
45486
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 146 / Friday, July 29, 2011 / Proposed Rules
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 also are
used to calculate the appropriate flood
insurance premium rates for new
buildings built after these elevations are
made final, and for the contents in those
buildings.
Corrections
In the proposed rule published at 74
FR 12804, in the March 25, 2009, issue
of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table under the authority of
44 CFR 67.4. The table entitled
‘‘Livingston County, Kentucky and
Incorporated Areas’’ addressed the
flooding sources Kentucky Lake, Lake
Barkley, Ohio River, and Tennessee
Flooding source(s)
River. That table contained inaccurate
information as to the location of
referenced elevation, effective and
modified elevation in feet, and/or
communities affected for those flooding
sources. In addition, it did not include
the following flooding sources: Bayou
Creek (backwater effects from Ohio
River), Bayou Creek Tributary 20
(backwater effects from Ohio River),
Bissell Creek (backwater effects from
Ohio River), Buck Creek (backwater
effects from Ohio River), Claylick Creek
(backwater effects from Ohio River),
Cooper Creek (backwater effects from
Tennessee River), Cumberland River
(backwater effects from Ohio River),
Cypress Creek (backwater effects from
Ohio River), Deer Creek (backwater
effects from Ohio River), Dry Branch
(backwater effects from Tennessee
River), Dry Fork (backwater effects from

(backwater effects from Ohio River),
Givens Creek (backwater effects from

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
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in those buildings.
Corrections
In the proposed rule published at 74 FR 12804, in the March 25,
2009, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table entitled ``Livingston County,
Kentucky and Incorporated Areas'' addressed the flooding sources
Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, Ohio River, and Tennessee River. That
table contained inaccurate information as to the location of referenced
elevation, effective and modified elevation in feet, and/or communities
affected for those flooding sources. In addition, it did not include
the following flooding sources: Bayou Creek (backwater effects from
Ohio River), Bayou Creek Tributary 20 (backwater effects from Ohio
River), Bissell Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Buck Creek
(backwater effects from Ohio River), Claylick Creek (backwater effects
from Ohio River), Cooper Creek (backwater effects from Tennessee
River), Cumberland River (backwater effects from Ohio River), Cypress
Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Deer Creek (backwater
effects from Ohio River), Dry Branch (backwater effects from Tennessee
River), Dry Fork (backwater effects from Ohio River), Dyer Hill Creek
(backwater effects from Ohio River), Ferguson Creek (backwater effects
from Ohio River), Givens Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River),
Guess Creek (backwater effects from Tennessee River), Guess Creek
Tributary 9 (backwater effects from Tennessee River), Hickory Creek
(backwater effects from Ohio River), Jones Creek (backwater effects
from Tennessee River), Lee Creek (backwater effects from Tennessee
River), McCormick Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), McGilligan
Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Phelps Creek (backwater
effects from Ohio River), Phelps Creek Tributary 2 (backwater effects
from Ohio River), Sandy Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River),
Smith Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Snglin Creek
(backwater effects from Ohio River), Sugar Creek (backwater effects
from Ohio River), Sugarcamp Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River),
Sugarcamp Creek Tributary 3 (backwater effects from Ohio River), and
Turkey Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River). In this notice, FEMA
is publishing a table containing the accurate information, to address
these prior errors. The information provided below should be used in
lieu of that previously published.
