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

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).
DATES: Comments are to be submitted
on or before September 5, 2023.
ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the 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 below. Additionally,
the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are
accessible online through the FEMA

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
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/

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://

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
community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center
at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

take permit (ITP) under section
10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The ITP would
authorize take of the tidewater goby
(Eucyclogobius newberryi) and the
Pacific Coast distinct population
segment (DPS) of the western snowy
plover (Charadrius nivosus nivosus)
incidental to activities associated with
management of the Salinas River Lagoon
and sandbar in Monterey County,
California, to prevent flooding of
adjacent lands. The applicant developed
the draft HCP as part of their application
for an ITP. In addition, the HCP
anticipates impacts to the federally
threatened Monterey spineflower
(Chorizanthe pungens var. pungens),
and proposes avoidance and
minimization measures for all three
covered species and mitigation for
unavoidable temporary loss of suitable
habitat. The Service prepared a draft
screening form in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) to
evaluate the potential effects to the
natural and human environment
resulting from issuing an ITP and
implementing the draft HCP in order to
determine if the action fits within the
criteria for a categorical exclusion under
NEPA. We invite public comment on all
of these documents.
Background
The Service listed the Monterey
spineflower as threatened on February
4, 1994 (59 FR 5499), tidewater goby as
endangered on March 7, 1994 (59 FR
5494), and Pacific Coast DPS of the
western snowy plover as threatened on
March 5, 1993 (58 FR 12864). Section 9
of the ESA prohibits ‘‘take’’ of fish and
wildlife species listed as endangered (16
U.S.C. 1538), where take is defined to
