Discussion
On January 8, 2020, the Coast Guard
published a notice of intent to prepare
an EIS (85 FR 930). On June 7, 2021, we
published a notice of availability for a
draft EIS seeking public comments, and
announcement of a virtual meeting (86
FR 30323) for the BNSF Railway Bridge
across the Missouri River between the
cities of Bismarck and Mandan, ND.
Lastly, on June 14, 2021, we published
a notice of extension to the public
comment period (86 FR 31509), which
extended the comment period to July
26, 2021.
The notice of availability solicited
substantive and relevant comments
related to the draft EIS. On June 30,
2021, the Coast Guard held a virtual
public meeting to receive written and
oral comments on the draft EIS. Public
comments yielded very few substantive
changes. We are now providing notice
of the availability of the final EIS.
We developed a final EIS that
addresses impacts associated with the
alternatives mentioned in section 2.0 of
the draft EIS. These impacts include
those environmental control laws listed
in appendix B of the Coast Guard’s
Bridge Permit Application Guide
(available at https://www.dco.uscg.mil/
Portals/9/DCO%20Documents/5pw/
Office%20of%20Bridge%20Programs/
BPAG%20COMDTPUB%20P16591
%203D_Sequential%20Clearance
%20Final(July2016).pdf), as well as
those impacts associated with
floodplain rise, impacts to the Bismarck
Water Reservoir and the Missouri River
Natural Area. The final EIS also
includes responses to all substantive
and relevant comments received during
the public comment period and virtual
public meeting.
The Coast Guard, as lead agency, held
21 consultation meetings with
stakeholders to satisfy the requirements
of section 106 of the NHPA (54 U.S.C.
306108). On January 15, 2021, the Coast
Guard and consulting parties signed a
Programmatic Agreement to address the
adverse effect on the existing historic
bridge, and to provide third parties the
opportunity to develop additional
alternatives that would allow for
retention of the bridge. The additional
alternative presented during this
process was not technically or
economically feasible, so the Coast
Guard and consulting parties developed
a Memorandum of Agreement, which
dictates mitigation measures for removal
of the existing bridge. A consulting

party, the Friends of the Rail Bridge,
initiated termination of the
Programmatic Agreement on February
22, 2022, and after additional
consultation meetings, it was terminated
on June 19, 2022. The Memorandum of
Agreement was signed on September 27,
2022, and is available in appendix B of
the final EIS.
This notice is issued under authority
of NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., Council
on Environmental Quality
implementing regulations in 40 CFR
parts 1500 through 1508, and 5 U.S.C.
552(a).

Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundary or zone designation, or
regulatory floodway on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and

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).

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
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

65218
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 208 / Friday, October 28, 2022 / Notices
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
Community
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
