Proposed Flood Hazard
Determinations
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Comments are requested on
proposed flood hazard determinations,
which may include additions or
modifications of any Base Flood
Elevation (BFE), base flood depth,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundary or zone designation, or
regulatory floodway on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for
the communities listed in the table
below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment
regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) has provided to the affected
communities. The FIRM and FIS report
are the basis of the floodplain
management measures that the
community is required either to adopt
or to show evidence of having in effect
in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition,
the FIRM and FIS report, once effective,
will be used by insurance agents and
others to calculate appropriate flood
insurance premium rates for new
buildings and the contents of those
buildings.
SUMMARY:
Comments are to be submitted
on or before November 8, 2016.
ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report for
each community are available for
inspection at both the online location
and the respective Community Map
DATES:
Repository address listed in the tables
below. 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.
You may submit comments, identified
by Docket No. FEMA–B–1636, to Rick
Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services
Branch, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA
proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community
listed below, 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 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 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
Community
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
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. For
communities with multiple ongoing
Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number
and Preliminary FIRM date 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.

AGENCY:
This notice lists communities
where the addition or modification of
Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood

determinations), as shown on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports,
prepared by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) for each
community, is appropriate because of
new scientific or technical data. The
FIRM, and where applicable, portions of
the FIS report, have been revised to
reflect these flood hazard
determinations through issuance of a
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in
accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR
part 65). The LOMR will be used by
insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings and the contents
of those buildings. For rating purposes,
the currently effective community
number is shown in the table below and
must be used for all new policies and
renewals.
SUMMARY:
These flood hazard
determinations will become effective on
DATES:
the dates listed in the table below and
revise the FIRM panels and FIS report
in effect prior to this determination for
the listed communities.
From the date of the second
publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local
circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the
community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Mitigation reconsider
the changes. The flood hazard
determination information may be
changed during the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: The affected communities
are listed in the table below. Revised
flood hazard information for each
community is available for inspection at
both the online location and the
respective community map repository
address listed in the table below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM
