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 April 27, 2020.
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–2005, to Rick
Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services
Branch, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400
C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646–7659, or (email)

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
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/preliminary
floodhazarddata 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.

Management Agency (FEMA) will
submit the information collection
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and

This
proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on November 14, 2019 at 84 FR
61922 with a 60 day public comment
period. FEMA received one comment.
The comment concerned the
requirement for schools or educational
facilities to provide proof of
accreditation or certification requested
on FEMA Form 009–0–49, Request for
Public Assistance. While the specific
citations in 44 CFR 206.221(a) are now
out of date, the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965
continues to have definitions for
elementary school (20 U.S.C. 7801(19))
and secondary school (20 U.S.C.
7801(45)) that define such schools as
providing elementary and secondary
education ‘‘as determined under state
law.’’ Government regulation of private
schools is limited. In general, the U.S.
Department of Education does not have
authority to regulate private elementary
and secondary schools or home schools.
If any regulation is made, it is usually
implemented at the State level and the
extent of such regulation varies. For
example, some States do not require
accreditation, and FEMA cannot require
formal accreditation where a State does
not. However, FEMA may require that
an applicant private nonprofit school
demonstrate that it meets the required
criteria for an educational institution
and facility under the Public Assistance
Program. This includes the requirement
for a private nonprofit school to
demonstrate that it meets the regulatory
requirements of education ‘‘as
determined under state law.’’ Likewise,
the Higher Education Act of 1965
continues to have a definition of
institution of higher education (20
U.S.C. 1001(a)) which has five criteria
that are aligned with the criteria in
Table 5 on page 132 of the Public
Assistance Program and Policy Guide.
FEMA continues to rely on the
definitions in these two acts, and we do
not believe that Congress, when they
reorganized these acts, intended to
eliminate FEMA’s longstanding
eligibility criteria.
The salary used to calculate the
Estimated Total Annual Cost to the
Federal Government has been updated
to reflect the 2020 Salary Table.
The purpose of this notice is to notify
the public that FEMA will submit the
information collection abstracted below
