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 October 17, 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
floodhazarddata and the respective
DATES:
Community Map 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 https://
msc.fema.gov for comparison.
You may submit comments, identified
by Docket No. FEMA–B–1841, to Rick
Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services
Branch, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400
C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,

main.html.
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 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
34153
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we make the draft
long-range transportation plans (LRTPs)
for Regions 2, 6, and 8 of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service available for public
review and comment. When finalized,
the LRTPs will apply to Servicemanaged lands in Region 2 (Arizona,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas),
Region 6 (Colorado, Kansas, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and
Wyoming), and Region 8 (California and
Nevada).
Background
The Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation (FAST) Act (Pub. L. 114–
94) requires that all Federal land
management agencies conduct longrange transportation planning in a
manner that is consistent with
metropolitan planning organizations
and State departments of transportation
planning. We initiated these LRTPs to
bring the Service into compliance with
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the FAST Act and to achieve the
following goals:
• Establish a defensible structure for
sound transportation planning and
decision-making;
• Establish a vision, mission, goals,
and objectives for transportation
planning in each of these three Service
Regions;
• Implement coordinated and
cooperative transportation partnerships
in an effort to improve the Service’s
transportation infrastructure;
• Integrate transportation planning
and funding for national wildlife refuges
and national fish hatcheries into
existing and future Service management
plans and strategies;
• Increase awareness of alternative
transportation systems and associated
benefits;
• Develop best management practices
for transportation improvements on
Service lands; and
• Serve as a pilot project for the
implementation of a region-level
transportation planning process within
the Service.
LRTP Mission, Goals, and Objectives
Through a collaborative effort, the
National Wildlife Refuge System and
the Fish and Aquatic Conservation
Program, in cooperation with the
planning and visitor services programs
within these three Regions, have
contributed to defining the mission,
goals, and objectives presented in this
document. The resulting mission, goals,
and objectives are intended to provide
a systematic approach to guide the
process for evaluating and selecting
transportation improvement programs
for the Service lands in these Regions.
These guiding principles have shaped
the development, conclusions, and
recommendations of these LRTPs. While
each Region’s specific mission, vision,
