II. Background
This notice seeks comment on the
proposed ‘‘Revised Guidelines for
Implementing Executive Order 11988,
Floodplain Management’’ (Guidelines).
The Guidelines were first issued by the
Water Resources Council in 1978,
following the issuance of Executive
Order 11988. The proposed Guidelines
concern Executive Order 11988, which
was recently amended by a new
Executive Order, ‘‘Establishing a Federal
Flood Risk Management Standard and a
Process for Further Soliciting and
Considering Stakeholder Input.’’ The
Federal Flood Risk Management
Standard (Standard) was developed by
the Mitigation Framework Leadership
Group in consultation with the Federal
Interagency Floodplain Management
Task Force, at the direction of the
President. The Standard provides three
approaches for defining the floodplain:
• Applying methods informed by
best-available, actionable climate
science,
• Adding two or three additional feet
of elevation, depending on the
criticality of the building or structure,
above the 100-year, or 1%-annualchance, flood elevation, or
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:46 Feb 04, 2015
Jkt 235001
• Using the 500-year, or 0.2%-annualchance, flood elevation.
The Standard is consistent with the
President’s Climate Action Plan (June
2013). The President directed Federal
agencies to take the appropriate actions
to reduce risks to Federal investments,
specifically calling on Federal agencies
to update their flood risk reduction
standards. The Standard also expands to
a more national scope the work initially
begun by the Hurricane Sandy
Rebuilding Task Force to build back
smarter in the Sandy-affected region.
This expansion was a key
recommendation from the Hurricane
Sandy Rebuilding Strategy (August
2013) and the Recommendations of the
State, Local and Tribal Leaders Task
Force on Climate Preparedness and
Resilience (November 2014).
In addition to this notice seeking
comment, the Mitigation Framework
Leadership Group is conducting a series
of public meetings, which will serve as
‘‘Listening Sessions’’ to solicit feedback.
A virtual listening session will also be
held. A separate Federal Register Notice
will be forthcoming detailing meeting
dates and locations.
Executive Order 11988, as amended,
the proposed ‘‘Revised Guidelines for
Implementing Executive Order 11988,
Floodplain Management,’’ and the
Federal Flood Risk Management
Standard are included in the docket for
this Notice on www.regulations.gov,
under docket ID FEMA–2015–0006.
Authority: Executive Order 11988,
Floodplain Management, as amended;
Executive Order, ‘‘Establishing a Federal
Flood Risk Management Standard and a
Process for Further Soliciting and
Considering Stakeholder Input.’’
