DATES: Comments are to be submitted
on or before August 6, 2018.
ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report for
each community are available for
inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminary

listed in the tables below. Additionally,
the current effective FIRM and FIS

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
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://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/
srp_overview.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 https://
www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazard
data 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 https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.

Hoopa Valley Tribe; Amendment No. 1
to Notice of a Major Disaster
Declaration
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice amends the notice
of a major disaster for the Hoopa Valley
Tribe (FEMA–4302–DR), dated February
14, 2017, and related determinations.
DATES: This amendment was issued
April 17, 2018.

Recovery, Federal Emergency

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2833.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated April
17, 2018, the President amended the
cost-sharing arrangements regarding
Federal funds provided under the
authority of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.
(the ‘‘Stafford Act’’), in a letter to Brock
Long, Administrator, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Department of
Homeland Security, under Executive
Order 12148, as follows:
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
I have determined that the damage to the
lands associated with the Hoopa Valley Tribe
resulting from a severe winter storm during
the period of January 3–5, 2017, is of
sufficient severity and magnitude that special
cost-sharing arrangements are warranted
regarding Federal funds provided under the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et
seq. (the ‘‘Stafford Act’’).
Therefore, I amend my declaration of
February 14, 2017, to authorize Federal funds
for all categories of Public Assistance at 90
percent of total eligible costs.

This adjustment to the cost sharing applies
only to Public Assistance costs and direct
Federal assistance eligible for such
adjustments under the law. The Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act specifically prohibits a
similar adjustment for funds provided for the
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (Section
404). These funds will continue to be
reimbursed at 75 percent of total eligible
costs.

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 the Code of Federal
Regulations. 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.
DATES: These flood hazard
determinations will be finalized on 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 Insurance and
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
