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 flood hazard determinations, together with the 
floodplain management criteria required 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

Correction

    In the proposed flood hazard determination notice published at 79 
FR 78888 in the December 31, 2014, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA 
published a table titled Lower Little Blue Watershed. This table 
contained inaccurate information as to the communities affected by the 
proposed flood hazard determinations featured in the table and the name 
of the watershed should be titled Lower Big Blue Watershed.
    In this document, FEMA is publishing a table containing the 
accurate information. The information provided below should be used in 
lieu of that previously published.
