Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 30 / Thursday, February 13, 2014 / Notices 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 flood hazard determinations 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 the FIRM and FIS report become effective. The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report become effective. Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been Community 8729 engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_ fact_sheet.pdf. The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each community are available for inspection at both the online location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

Superintendent Wendy Ross, Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, at the address above, or by telephone at (701) 745–3300. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS is announcing its intent to prepare an archeological resources management plan and environmental impact statement (Plan/EIS) for comprehensive archeological resource protection from Knife River bank erosion, infrastructure placement, vegetation encroachment, and burrowing mammal activity at Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site. The project objective is to support the NPS mission to ‘‘conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.’’ To this end, the project will define desired conditions and management actions that conform to The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties, while providing a suite of various reasonable alternatives capable of achieving these goals. Past planning and emergency efforts have focused on streambank protection; however, this plan will encompass all threats to archeological resources and all reasonable and feasible alternatives to stop or reduce resource impacts. The plan will explore some of the following during the course of alternative development: Stream bank control, erosion control, pest abatement, vegetation control, archeological excavation and documentation, and interpretation of archeological resources. A full range of reasonable alternatives for the management of archeological resources will be developed through this planning process and will include, at minimum, a no-action and a preferred alternative. The potential environmental effects of each alternative will be evaluated. The purpose of the formal public scoping process is to determine relevant issues that will influence the scope of the environmental analysis, including alternatives, and guide the process for developing the Plan/EIS. All interested persons, organizations, agencies, and Tribes are encouraged to submit comments and suggestions on issues and concerns that should be addressed in the Plan/EIS, and the range of appropriate alternatives that should be examined.
