table. This notice provides corrections
to that table, to be used in lieu of the
information published. The table
provided here represents the proposed
flood hazard determinations and
communities affected for Ellsworth
County, Kansas and Incorporated Areas.
DATES: Comments are to be submitted
on or before June 11, 2020.
ADDRESSES: The Preliminary Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where
applicable, the Flood Insurance Study
(FIS) report for each community are
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 and FIS
report for each community are
accessible online through the FEMA
Map Service Center at https://

FEMA
proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community
listed in the table 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 also used to calculate the
appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after 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 may only 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
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Community
appeal. Additional information
regarding the SRP process can be found
online at https://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_
fact_sheet.pdf.
The communities affected by the
flood hazard determinations are
provided in the table below. Any
request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard determinations
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 will also be considered
before the FIRM and FIS report are
made final.
Correction
In the proposed flood hazard
determination notice published at 85 FR
14694 in the March 13, 2020, issue of
the Federal Register, FEMA published a
table titled Ellsworth County, Kansas
and Incorporated Areas. This table
contained inaccurate information as to
the community map repository for the
City of Lorraine featured in the table.
In this document, FEMA is publishing
a table containing the accurate
information. The information provided
below should be used in lieu of that
previously published. (Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance No. 97.022,

comment on the following applications
for a permit to conduct activities
intended to recover and enhance
endangered species survival. With some

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes
hunting, shooting, harming, wounding,
or killing but also such activities as
pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing,
or collecting.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at title 50, part 17,
provide for issuing such permits and
require that we invite public comment

before issuing permits for activities
involving endangered species.
A recovery permit we issue under the
ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A), authorizes the
permittee to conduct activities with
endangered or threatened species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or enhance the species’
propagation or survival. These activities
often include such prohibited actions as
capture and collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found at 50 CFR 17.22
for endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50
CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species,
and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.

U.S.C. 552) requirements.
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. We invite
local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies
and the public to submit written data,
views, or arguments with respect to
these applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities that constitute
take of listed species unless a Federal permit is issued that allows
such activity. The ESA's definition of ``take'' includes hunting,
shooting, harming, wounding, or killing but also such activities as
pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing, or collecting.
The ESA and our implementing regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at title 50, part 17, provide for issuing such
permits and require that we invite public comment before issuing
permits for activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit we issue under the ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A),
authorizes the permittee to conduct activities with endangered or
threatened species for scientific purposes that promote recovery or
enhance the species' propagation or survival. These activities often
include such prohibited actions as capture and collection. Our
regulations implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are
found at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.32 for
threatened wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species,
and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant species.
Permit Applications Available for Review and Comment
Documents and other information submitted with these applications
are available for review by any party who submits a request as
specified in ADDRESSES. Releasing documents is subject to Privacy Act
(5 U.S.C. 552a) and Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552)
requirements.
Proposed activities in the following permit requests are for the
recovery and enhancement of propagation or survival of the species in
the wild. We invite local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies and the
public to submit written data, views, or arguments with respect to
these applications. The comments and recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies. Please refer to the application
number when submitting comments.
