Status: The meeting will be open to
the public.
Purpose: The purpose of the
Negotiated Rulemaking Committee on
Designation of Medically Underserved
Populations and Health Professional
Shortage Areas is to establish a criteria
and a comprehensive methodology for
Designation of Medically Underserved
Populations and Primary Care Health
Professional Shortage Areas, using a
Negotiated Rulemaking (NR) process. It
is hoped that use of the NR process will
yield a consensus among technical
experts and stakeholders on a new rule
for designation of medically
underserved populations and primary
care health professions shortage areas,
which would be published as an Interim
Final Rule in accordance with Section
5602 of the Affordable Care Act, Public
Law 111–148.
Agenda: The meeting will be held on
Tuesday, September 20; Wednesday,
September 21; and Thursday, September
22. It will include a review of previous
decisions and analyses regarding the
proposed methodologies for identifying
areas of shortage and underservice that
are based on the recommendations of
the Committee in the previous meeting.
The Committee will seek to make final
recommendations based on these
analyses and deliberations. The
Committee’s final report is due to the
Secretary by the end of October.
Members of the public will have the
opportunity to provide comments
during the meeting on Friday afternoon.
Requests from the public to make oral
comments or to provide written
comments to the Committee should be
sent to Jessica Sitko at the contact
address above at least 10 days prior to
the first day of the meeting, Wednesday,
September 20. The meetings will be
open to the public as indicated above,
with attendance limited to space
available. Individuals who plan to
attend and need special assistance, such
as sign language interpretation or other
reasonable accommodations, should
notify the contact person listed above at
least 10 days prior to the meeting.

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
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 73
FR 35112, in the June 20, 2008, issue of
the Federal Register, FEMA published a
table under the authority of 44 CFR
67.4. The table, entitled ‘‘Plymouth
County, Massachusetts, and
Incorporated Areas’’ addressed the
flooding source Atlantic Ocean. That
table contained inaccurate information
as to the location of referenced
Flooding source(s)
elevation, effective and modified
elevation in feet, and/or communities
affected for that flooding source. In
addition, it did not include the
following flooding sources:
Aassawompsett Pond, Accord Brook,
Bear Swamp, Doggett Brook, Fall Brook,
French Stream, Great Quittacas Pond,
Hathaway Pond, Hockomock River,
Matfield River, Meadow Brook, Oldham
Pond, Rocky Meadow Brook, Salisbury
Plain River, Satucket River,
Shumatuscacant River, Stream River,
Third Herring Brook, Town River,
Tributary A, Tributary to Meadow
Brook, and Weweantic River.
In the correction published at 73 FR
52234, in the September 9, 2008, issue
of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table entitled ‘‘Plymouth
County, Massachusetts (All
Jurisdictions)’’ containing information
that addressed the flooding source
Atlantic Ocean, to be used in lieu of that
published on June 20, 2008.
In the correction published at 74 FR
22151, in the May 12, 2009, issue of the
Federal Register, FEMA published a
table entitled ‘‘Plymouth County,
Massachusetts (All Jurisdictions)’’
containing information that addressed
the flooding source Atlantic Ocean, to
be used in lieu of that published on
September 9, 2008.
In this notice, FEMA is publishing a

information, to address these prior
errors. The information provided below

In the proposed rule published at 75
FR 31347, in the June 3, 2010, issue of

PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
addressed a number of flooding sources,
including Rowell Creek and Sal Taylor
Creek Tributary 2.
The proposed rule incorrectly listed
the Rowell Creek location description
for the modified BFE of 80 feet,
referenced to the North American
Vertical Datum of 1988, as being
approximately 650 feet upstream of
Secluded Avenue. The correct location
of this modified BFE is approximately
0.51 mile upstream of the intersection of
Inspiration Avenue and D Avenue. The
proposed rule also incorrectly listed the
modified BFEs for Sal Taylor Creek
Tributary 2, for both the location at the
confluence with Sal Taylor Creek and
the location approximately 1,500 feet
upstream of the confluence with Sal
Taylor Creek Tributary 3. The modified
BFE for the location at the confluence
with Sal Taylor Creek was listed as 61
feet, referenced to the North American
Vertical Datum of 1988. The correct
modified BFE for that location is 62 feet,
referenced to the North American
Vertical Datum of 1988. The modified
BFE for the location approximately
1,500 feet upstream of the confluence
with Sal Taylor Creek Tributary 3 was
listed as 67 feet, referenced to the North
American Vertical Datum of 1988. The
correct modified BFE for that location is
68 feet, referenced to the North
American Vertical Datum of 1988. The
effective BFEs were listed correctly in
the proposed rule.
This proposed rule correction is
reopening the comment period for
Rowell Creek, for the proposed BFE at
the location approximately 650 feet
upstream of Secluded Avenue, where a
modified BFE of 67 feet, referenced to
the North American Vertical Datum of
1988, is proposed, due to the error in
listing the location description for the
Rowell Creek BFE of 80 feet, referenced
to the North American Vertical Datum
of 1988, in the previously published
proposed rule at 75 FR 31347. This
proposed rule also is opening a
comment period for Rowell Creek from
the location approximately 650 feet
upstream of Secluded Avenue to the
location approximately 0.51 mile
upstream of the intersection of
