THSGP recipients were required to
complete only the THIRA, they had to
address all 32 core capabilities. This
year, as they complete the THIRA and
SPR, THSGP recipients will only be
required to address 8 of the 32 core
capabilities. Therefore, Tribal
Governments’ estimated average burden
per response (in hours) has decreased
from 408 to 290 hours. Only THSGP
recipients are required to complete the
THIRA/SPR, but FEMA encourages
other Tribes to do so as well.
FEMA is hosting three in-person
technical assistance sessions this year to
help communities understand and
complete the THIRA/SPR, and offered
invitational travel for grantees required
to complete the THIRA/SPR. The
technical assistance sessions themselves
are free for communities to attend, with
no admission fee, nor are there any
penalties for obtaining FEMA’s help.
FEMA is also developing tools,
materials, and guidance to help
communities learn and complete the
new methodology. Communities
requiring assistance with their THIRA/
SPR can also reach out to their Regional
Preparedness Analysts and Planning
Officers or the THIRA/SPR helpdesk at
FEMA-SPR@fema.dhs.gov. These
materials and services are provided at
no cost to Tribes or other communities.
It is also important to note that
completing the THIRA and SPR are
allowable expenses under the grant
award. FEMA acknowledges the
inherent sovereignty of Tribal
governments, the trust responsibility of
the Federal Government, and the nationto-nation relationship between the U.S.
government and Tribal governments as
established by the U.S. Constitution,
statutes, treaties, court decisions,
executive orders, regulations, and
policies as a foundation of the Tribal
Homeland Security Grant Program.
The purpose of this notice is to notify
the public that FEMA will submit the
information collection abstracted below
to the Office of Management and Budget
for review and clearance.

Changes in Flood Hazard
Determinations
Federal Emergency

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice lists communities
where the addition or modification of
Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood
depths, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundaries or zone
designations, or the regulatory floodway
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
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 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.
