Agency
[Docket ID FEMA–2021–0002; Internal
Agency Docket No. FEMA–B–2102]
Proposed Flood Hazard
Determinations
Federal Emergency
Management Agency; Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
AGENCY:
On January 25, 2021 FEMA
published in the Federal Register a
proposed flood hazard determination
notice that contained an erroneous
table. This notice provides corrections
to that table to be used in lieu of the
erroneous information. The table
provided here represents the proposed
flood hazard determinations and
communities affected for Columbia
County, Pennsylvania (All
Jurisdictions).
DATES: Comments are to be submitted
on or before June 10, 2021.
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://
msc.fema.gov for comparison.
You may submit comments, identified
by Docket No. FEMA–B–2102, to Rick
Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services
Branch, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400
SUMMARY:
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
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Community
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
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 86 FR
6898–6899 in the January 25, 2021,
issue of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table titled ‘‘Columbia
County, Pennsylvania and Incorporated
Areas’’. This table contained inaccurate
information in the header 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.
