[Docket ID FEMA–2010–0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA–B–1158] Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS. ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. AGENCY: On December 16, 2010, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information published at 75 FR 78654. The table provided here represents the flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and modified elevations, and communities affected for the City of Newport News, Virginia. Specifically, it addresses the flooding sources Newmarket Creek, Newmarket Creek Tributary, Stoney Run, Stoney Run-Colony Pines Branch, and Stoney Run-Denbigh Branch. SUMMARY: State City/town/county 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 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Source of flooding 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. Correction In the proposed rule published at 75 FR 78654, in the December 16, 2010, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ‘‘City of Newport News, Virgina’’ addressed the flooding sources Newmarket Creek, Newmarket Creek Tributary, Stoney Run, Stoney Run-Colony Pines Branch, and Stoney Run-Denbigh Branch. That table contained inaccurate information as to the location of referenced elevation, effective and modified elevation in feet, and/or communities affected for the flooding sources Stoney Run-Colony Pines Branch and Stoney Run-Denbigh Branch.

Correction In the proposed rule published at 74 FR 66602, in the December 16, 2009, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ‘‘Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, and Incorporated Areas’’ addressed several flooding sources, including Bayou Fordoche. The proposed rule incorrectly listed the flooding source name, Bayou Fordoche, for the location approximately 0.47 mile downstream of I–190 and approximately 1.21 miles upstream of I–190. The correct flooding source name is Bayou Grosse Tete. This proposed rule correction is reopening the comment period for Bayou Grosse Tete, for the location approximately 0.47 mile downstream of I–190 and approximately 1.21 miles upstream of I– 190, due to the error in listing the flooding source name in the previously published proposed rule at 74 FR 66602.

flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and
modified elevations, and communities affected for the City of Newport
News, Virginia. Specifically, it addresses the flooding sources
Newmarket Creek, Newmarket Creek Tributary, Stoney Run, Stoney Run-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed 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. 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.

Correction

In the proposed rule published at 75 FR 78654, in the December 16,
2010, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``City of Newport News,
Virgina'' addressed the flooding sources Newmarket Creek, Newmarket
Creek Tributary, Stoney Run, Stoney Run-Colony Pines Branch, and Stoney
Run-Denbigh Branch. That table contained inaccurate information as to
the location of referenced elevation, effective and modified elevation
in feet, and/or communities affected for the flooding sources Stoney
Run-Colony Pines Branch and Stoney Run-Denbigh Branch. 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.
