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.
The communities affected by the
flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any
request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown
Community
53759
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://
hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/
prelimdownload 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.

may contact the Information
Management Division for copies of the
proposed collection of information at
email address: FEMA-InformationCollections-Management@fema.dhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) codified as 42 U.S.C. 4001, et
seq. is authorized by Public Law 90–448
(1968) and expanded by Public Law 93–
234 (1973). The Department of
Homeland Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA)
administers the NFIP. The NFIP’s major
objective is to assure that participating
communities are achieving the flood
loss reduction objectives through
adoption and enforcement of adequate
land use and control measures. Sections
1315 and 1361 provide the basis for
FEMA’s process to evaluate how well
communities are implementing their
floodplain management programs. Title
44 CFR 59.22 directs the respondent to
submit evidence of the corrective and
preventive measures taken to meet the
flood loss reduction objectives.
The two key methods FEMA uses in
determining community assistance
needs are through the Community
Assistance Contact (CAC) and
Community Assistance Visit (CAV),
which serve to provide a systematic
means of monitoring community NFIP
compliance. Through the CAC and CAV,
FEMA can also determine to what
extent communities are achieving the
flood loss reduction objectives of the
NFIP. By providing assistance to
communities, the CAC and CAV also
serve to enhance FEMA’s goals of
reducing future flood losses, thereby
achieving the NFIP’s cost-containment
objective. The burden hours and costs
associated with this collection were reevaluated which led to the main
revision in this extension request.
Collection of Information
Title: Community Assistance Contact
(CAC) and Community Assistance Visits
(CAV) Reports.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
information collection.

Abstract: Through the use of a
Community Assistance Contact (CAC) or
Community Assistance Visit (CAV),
FEMA can make a comprehensive
assessment of a community’s floodplain
management program. Through this
assessment, FEMA can assist the
community to understand the NFIP’s
requirements, and implement effective
flood loss reductions measures.
Communities can achieve cost savings
through flood mitigation actions by way
of insurance premium discounts and
reduced property damage.

Government.
