ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. AGENCY: On February 5, 2010, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides SUMMARY: Flooding source(s) 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 75 FR 5909, in the February 5, 2010, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ‘‘Ballard County, Kentucky, and Incorporated Areas’’ addressed the following flooding sources: Cane Creek (backwater effects from Mississippi, Hazel Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Humphrey Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Humphrey Creek Tributary 9 (backwater effects from Ohio River), Lucy Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Mississippi River, Ohio River, and Stovall Creek (backwater effects from Mississippi River.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency

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

In the proposed rule published at 75 FR 5909, in the February 5,
2010, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Ballard County,
Kentucky, and Incorporated Areas'' addressed the following flooding
sources: Cane Creek (backwater effects from Mississippi, Hazel Creek
(backwater effects from Ohio River), Humphrey Creek (backwater effects
from Ohio River), Humphrey Creek Tributary 9 (backwater effects from
Ohio River), Lucy Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River),
Mississippi River, Ohio River, and Stovall Creek (backwater effects
from Mississippi River. That table contained inaccurate information as
to the communities affected for the flooding source the Mississippi
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.
